Crayola Facebook Live Event! Book tour & giveaways for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Crayola & Carola
Crayola will host a 45 minute Facebook Live event on September 1st, 2021, that will feature author Carola Schmidt talking about her book and cancer awareness, followed by a reading of the book by Joey and Tonya Madia, from the fabulous Saturday Morning Story Time. The second half of the event will be a draw-along with illustrator Dian Ovieta: kids watching from classrooms all over the world will be taught to draw a scene from the book, while Dian talks about the process.
Crayola and Carola are sponsoring 2 giveaways: Reviewers that signup for the tour can subscribe here for a Rafflecopter giveaway for a chance to win a paperback copy of the book, plus a Crayola Create-to-Learn kit; a second giveaway for the same prizes will be offered to the teachers participating in the Facebook Live Event, who can subscribe here.
Crayola and Carola will also donate 5 books to children’s cancer institutions chosen by reviewers and teachers; we’ll provide a list of institutions to choose from, and the 5 most chosen will receive the books, plus 5 Crayola Colors of the World crayon classpacks.
From Crayola: “The institutions would have individual boxes they can take room to room or give to an individual child. Our diversity and inclusion messages of Colors of the World are perfect for helping kids feel comfortable with their bald, beautiful heads.”
Join us and we’ll send you a free ebook to review! We ask reviewers to please post the Facebook Live Event invite on their various platforms with their reviews. Here is the link — please mark that you are going!
Teachers, it’s unlikely you’ll have your class online to watch it live. Please catch it at your convenience. You can find it on the Video tab of the Crayola Facebook Page.
