There was once an author who donated some of her books to a Youngstown city school class of youngsters. She came to class to read to the children and sign their books. One young girl, however, asked could she please not sign her book. Unsure if she should feel hurt, she asked the girl why? "Because it's my only book," she replied. When someone I know heard that story, they felt compelled to buy books for the whole kindergarten class at Harding. You can help, too.
