A Good Book Drive: Ryan Guldemond

A Good Book Drive has teamed up with a great group of independent Vancouver retailers that will each house a Good Book Box. Here you can drop off your favorite kids book and personalize your donation with a special bookplate, sharing the story of why that book is special to you.

		A Good Book Drive is an annual book drive to bring stories to a new generation of readers, and support kids in need of new books. Running through the month of November, A Good Book Drive will be inspiring Vancouverites to purchase a new copy of their favorite kids’ book and deliver it to set locations throughout the city to be donated to this year’s book drive recipient, Vancouver literacy program The Writers Exchange.

Mother Mother’s Ryan Guldemond donated The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. This book sparked Ryan’s imagination, his love of language and inspired his creative self expression through words.

Ryan's bookplate attached to the inside cover of his donated book reads: I love this book because it teaches me that life is not only as boring as I live it, but how I perceive it, and also how I describe it.

Hear Ryan discuss the metaphors that delighted his mind when reading The Phantom Tollbooth...
