Cece Bell: children’s book author and illustrator

May 20, 2009

Cece Bell, the fabulous children’s book author and illustrator of Sock Monkey fame, sent autographed copies of two of her books – Bee Wigged and Sock Monkey Rides Again. Sock Monkey is one of our favorites (I love reading Sock Monkey Boogie Woogie to the kids – cracks me up every time) but I had not yet been introduced to Jerry Bee. The books are wonderful, and I know they will be a great addition to the auction. I might try to package them in a basket with some related items. My mother-in-law made some wonderful sock monkeys for the children a few years back . . . perhaps a sock monkey themed basket and a bumble bee themed basket?

Literacy in Georgia

1 in 5 of our children lives in poverty

Approximately 61 percent of low-income families do not have a single piece of reading material suitable for a child

A third of our children come to school unprepared to learn

Only 28% of Georgia 4th graders read at or above proficiency

We have the nations third highest rate of high school dropouts

One in four adults in Georgia operates at a low literacy level

Illiteracy and low literate workers cost Georgia businesses $7 billion each year

Several states plan how many jail cells they will build in the future by how many children are not reading on grade level by third grade

With your help, this can change…
