Colleen at My Baby and More is hosting a "book release" challenge for the month of August, in honor of World Breastfeeding Week. The idea is that you leave a breastfeeding book (or book with some breastfeeding content) in a place where a mother in need of such a book might find it.
The challenge is organized through Book Crossing, the website which organizes the practice of leaving books where others will find them, and then encouraging the recipients to do the same. You can sign up and buy special "release kit" labels to put on your books, or you can just leave your own note encouraging the next reader to pass it along. If you use Book Crossing you can actually track where your book ends up.
As it turns out, I just got some updated versions of some great breastfeeding books, and was planning on giving the old editions away. So after hearing about Colleen's challenge, I joined Book Crossing, ordered some labels for my books, and will be setting the following titles free in the next few weeks:
- Dr. Jack Newman's Ultimate Book of Breastfeeding Answers
- Nursing Mother's Guide to Weaning
- Nursing Mother, Working Mother
Do you have any to leave? Tell us about it by leaving a comment below.
