I try to write articles that will encourage readers to buy books from our site - so that we may continue to donate the profits to schools.  It's our mission to be able to provide schools with some funding for projects and encourage reading, learning, and education.  Learning is essential to our growth as human beings, and unfortunately teaching, learning, and education, all cost money (or time, which pretty much equals money in today's society), and requires resources.  We want to be both a resource and a source of funding. 

Today, however, I ran across this book (to the left) written by Dallas Clayton.  For every book he sells one book is donated.  Donated books are then distributed to schools, hospitals, libraries, camps and shelters worldwide.  We here at booksXYZ share a common goal with The Awesome World Foundation, and now I am sharing their mission with you. 

You can actually see the inside of the book online, and let me tell you - it really is Awesome (and yes, requires a capital A).  I often lament the apparent loss of creativity and dreaming in children and adults today - with everything available to us at a touch of a button, on the television, movies, video games, and the internet there's not the penchant for day dreamers and imaginers as there seemed to be when even I was a child.  Everything is virtually instantly accessible, pre-imagined, pre-drawn and colored, virtually pre-consumed.  

An Awesome Book stresses the importance of dreams - big dreams, absurd dreams, silly dreams, like rocket-powered unicorns.  It's not a book that's just for kids though, it's a great book for anyone who needs a little reminder to dream big, because that's what dreams are for.
