This afternoon, our school recieved a copy of Little Brother which was donated by a reader from Ridgefield, CT through the donation program. The Barnes and Noble “description” says:
“I saw your request on Cory’s site; I loved the book, I’m glad I could share.”
Bless you, benefactor. And Cory, bless you, too. I’ve been walking around glowing for over an hour, book in hand. When people (teachers and students) ask about my happiness, I tell them that socio-economic networking is the best thing ever. And then we get to talk about stuff that really matters. And we all get a little closer, and a little more knowledgable, and a LOT more excited.
Thanks for making my job work better, for making our school easier and more fun, for connecting us to you and vice versa, for making the world. Thanks to everyone else, too, for everything else. Whee!
Off to find just the right kid and slip the book into her hand — from there, I’ll ask the kids to pass it along virally until the end of the year, and then we’ll see where the book, the ideas, and the way it arrived here can take us.
Now that’s pretty freaking awesome.
