We are thrilled to announce our Spirit of PaperTigers Project, an initiative of Pacific Rim Voices, whose aim is to promote literacy while raising awareness of our common humanity. The idea is to donate 100 book sets of 7 carefully selected multicultural books to libraries and schools in areas of need across the globe. One important aspect of the Spirit of PaperTigers project is that we will be receiving feedback from the book set recipients. In the course of the coming months, as feedback comes in, we will be posting it on the website and blog, so everyone can find out about where the books are going and who they are reaching.

Our website's homepage currently highlights all the authors and illustrators whose books have been selected for inclusion in the 2010 Book Set, as well as other features related to the project.

Now I encourage you to visit the website to learn more about the project and enjoy the new features:

If you are able, please help us spread the word on this exciting new venture!

Thanks and best wishes to all,

Aline
