When I created TTBCC: The Traveling Book Club for Children, my first thought was how fun it would be to get my books circulating throughout the communities of those businesses who joined the club.  As the idea developed, I knew that I had created a win-win-win-win for all involved.  How?

Well…first winner is the child who gets a copy of my book.  Example:  Child, sitting at the car dealership with mom or dad, waiting for the service department to change the oil, rotate the tires.  Boring!!!  On the table is a "Charlie" book.  On the front cover is a label that says "TAKE ME! I'M FREE!"  The child leave the car dealership with a "gift"..one of the best kind to give to children because we know when a child "owns" a book, they will read it. The more they read, the better their literacy proficiency.

Next winner – the business who purchased the books and whose information is on the front and inside label of the book.  When parents see that this business "gave" their child a book, they will remember the name of that business when next they need that service.

Third winner – the car dealership where they got the book.  When someone asked "where did you get the book", that car dealership's name will be shared.  So, the car dealership becomes known as a business that not only offers great service, but they go the extra mile to make the customer and their family happy.

Fourth winner – me, of course.  My children's books will be in the hands of children.  Parents will want to know more about my company.  My literacy programs will become known and the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children is likely.

As I said – WIN – WIN – WIN – WIN for all involved.  Come join us and be in the winner's circle.
