Happy Saturday! This morning we wanted to remind you of a particularly pretty note about the highly anticipated complement to the Harry Potter series. Although the release of J.K. Rowling's new book of fairy tales, 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard', won't be released until Dec. 4, 2008, you already can order the fantastic Collector's Edition pictured above -- and do a good deed in the process. Did you know all net proceeds from the sale of the book will be donated to The Children's Voice campaign?
"The Tales of Beedle the Bard is published by The Children's High Level Group (CHLG), registered charity number 1112575, a charity co-founded in 2005 by J.K. Rowling and Emma Nicholson MEP to make life better for vulnerable children.
The Children's Voice campaign is run by CHLG. It campaigns for child rights across Europe, particularly in Eastern Europe where over a million children and teenagers are growing up in institutions, often in unacceptable conditions. In most cases they are without adequate human or emotional contact and stimulation, while many only just survive without life's basics such as adequate shelter and food.
CHLG's Children's Voice campaign helps around a quarter of a million children each year through education activities; outreach work in institutions; and a dedicated telephone and email help line."
We love J.K. Rowling. How pretty is that?
