The 2021 Rebecca Caudill Young Readers’ Book Award is currently open for voting for Illinois students this month!
If you’re looking for some books for Middle Grades, please consider these lists or check out: https://bookshop.org/lists/middle-grades-books.
“The Rebecca Caudill Young Readers’ Book Award is an annual award given to the author of the book voted most outstanding by students in grades four through eight in participating Illinois schools. The award is named in honor of Rebecca Caudill who lived and wrote in Urbana, Illinois, for nearly 50 years. The award is given in recognition for her literary talent and the universal appeal of her books which have touched the hearts of many children and young adults.”
Today we watch Kamala Harris be sworn in as the first woman Vice President of the United States.
While some wear pearls or Chucks today, we also want to showcase some women, who paved the way to where we are today, because they also were “the first woman” to accomplish something.
Check out our list of adult and kid books about these famous greats at: https://bookshop.org/shop/wearecreed where books are order from independent bookstores!
Please help us in saying Happy Birthday Month, Jen!! (Her birthday was last week.)
Jen has been a wonderful friend and volunteer to our organization. Not only did she grab cards to write to kids for Barb’s Buddies (and had her kids help decorate), but she searches for opportunities to help. When she saw books we were asking for were on sale through the book orders at her school, she ordered multiple copies for our collection!
She even goes the extra mile when it comes to talking to the manager at Chipotle when she realized she was at the other LaGrange Road location and not at our fundraiser. Because of her, they were able to add their count to our fundraiser and set a precedent for a few others that arrived in the restaurant.
We appreciate Jen’s generosity and support in Creating Remarkable Effects Every Day!

Our Volunteer Spotlight goes to our Lou Malnati’s Frozen Pizza Coupons Sellers!!!
We raised less than we did last year, but it’s 2020 so we’re still ecstatic at our $1,005 earnings!
We’ve highlighted the Top 4 sellers in pictures; however, we appreciate the efforts of Edgar, Kristina, Teri Lyn, Julie, Mary, Ranjana, Joyce, and Stephanie.
Money from this fundraiser will support our Barb’s Buddies and Book Flood programs for 2021.
A thank you doesn’t seem like enough on Veteran’s Day.

Thank you, donors, for gifting us this opportunity to say thank you.
