May the 4th Be With You!

Each year DK combines our love of all things Star Wars with our love of literacy in Canada (is there a better tool to encourage people – especially kids - to read than Star Wars books? ) .

 Last year, we ran a very successful May the 4th Be With You promotion where we raised hundreds of dollars for Frontier College’s literacy programs in Canada.

This year we are keen to make an even bigger impact and we are partnering up with Indigo and Chapters bookstores to bring our May the 4th be With You magic to a retail level so that Canadians around the country can participate.

A portion of the proceeds of all DK Star Wars books sold over this coming  May 4th weekend ( May 4,5,6) at all Chapters and Indigo stores nationwide will be donated to Indigo’s Love of Reading program (which has already raised over $10 million dollars for Canadian schools in need). The more books we sell, the more money goes to help put books in schools for kids to read. 

 To launch this initiative select Indigo and Chapters stores across Canada will be having special in-store May the 4th Be With You Star Wars themed parties …

ABOUT THE LOVE OF READING PROGRAM
We passionately believe that when a child has a book put in their hands it changes their life forever.  With the support of Indigo customers and employees the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation puts books into the hands of Canadian children. To do date Love of Reading has committed over $12 million to more than 650 high-needs elementary schools across the country so children can develop a love of reading, unleash their dreams and fulfill their potential.  For more information about the Foundation visit, loveofreading.org

Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
