Check out the full details about the book fair here, but the gist is simple. Guys Lit Wire has teamed up with Powell's books. Those wishing to donate can choose from a wishlist of over 900 books and send them to the school. Here are some instructions from Guys Lit Wire that will ensure your books are going to the right place:
According to Guys Lit Wire,
Once you have made your selections head to “checkout” and you will be prompted to inform Powells if the books were indeed bought from the wishlist. This lets the store know to mark them as “purchased” on the list. After that you need to provide your credit card info and also fill in the shipping address. Here is where the books are going to:

As of yesterday evening, 500 books had already been purchased. I'm heading over now and buying some books for this very worthy cause. I hope you'll consider doing so as well.
My students have published a book with 4 short oral history stories. The book is fully illustrated. The book is titled Zaj Lus: A Hmong Children's Story Collection. If you go to our website you can see a sample of the work. Go to www.dceoralhistory.com The book is completely done by our Hmong students and is published in both English and Hmong. There are 20 illustrations done by two Hmong artists. These students are all of H.S age. They deserve some kind of recognition for this outstanding work. I looked at your list of awards , but did not see one for asian students. If you are interested in seeing or promoting this book I can send you a complementary copy . Just contact me at paleckson@dce.k12.wi.us My name is Paul Aleckson and I am their teacher.
