Author Dav Pilkey donates books to WPA!

Dr. Rose recently posted a grant request on Donors Choose, a website for teachers to request materials and
author Dav Pilkey donated 30 copies of Captain Underpants to the WPA library! He also donated $1000 as well as more titles that he has written. Check out his website to see some of the titles you will soon see here.  http://www.pilkey.com/

Here is the awesome letter I received from the author and his wife:
"Dear Mrs. Rose,
I am writing on behalf of my husband, Dav Pilkey. He was so thrilled to hear that your project requested his books and that your son enjoyed his books too! Dav is truly passionate about literacy. He wants people to know that he learned how to spell phonetically and basically taught himself to spell and read. Giving kids the initial experience to have fun with reading will help to open the world of books. 

Dav and I are so grateful for librarians like you. We are truly honored by your request and admire your dedication to kids. 

All our best,
Sayuri & Dav Pilkey"
