I received the following message from a Facebook group I joined a while back. I’m sharing this for two reasons: first, to announce this contest and second, to show you an interesting way to use a blog to promote a cause, like selling your own book.

Raz Godelnik sent a message to the members of Eco-Libris: Plant a Tree for Every Book you Read!

Subject: A great giveaway of Little Green Books on our blog

Dear friend,

Last month we announced on our collaboration with Simon and Schuster Children’s Publishing in an educational contest - I CAN SAVE THE EARTH!. This was in a celebration of their new line of eco-friendly children’s books, Little Green Books. In the next couple of weeks we will review in the blog the first four books that were published so far. Today we have the pleasure to start with two of them that are about two good friends - ‘Little Panda’ and ‘Little Monkey’.

We also have a great giveaway - Simon and Schuster Children’s Publishing are giving away one package of the 4 books published so far in the Little Green Books line: Little Panda, Little Monkey, I Can Save the Earth!: One Little Monster Learns to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle and The Polar Bears’ Home: A Story About Global Warming.

How you can get a chance to win this great prize? all you need to do is to add a comment to the post http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://%28http%3A%2F%2Fecolibris.blogspot.com%2F2008%2F10%2Fmondays-green-books-serieslittle-panda.html%29 with an answer for the following question: what is the best way to plant the seeds for earth-friendly living at an early age? if you have stories from your own experience with your kids that would be great. Submissions are accepted until Sunday, October 19, 12PM EST. We will pick the comment we liked best and the winner will be announced the following day.

All the best,

Raz @ Eco-Libris
