EWI adopted this organization and will be providing books during the rally for nearly 950 students. The Reading Rally chairperson, Christine Healy stated, “In addition to the book donations, EWI will also provide cinch sacks, tooth-brushes, tooth-paste, bookmarks to the children, and large rug for the center. “
There will be over 80 members from across the United States and Canada attending this event and participating in reading to the students. Also, EWI is partnering with local Milwaukee author, Jamie Vacho Knisbeck, and Illustrator, Charlie Christman, who will present their book, “Ivy Grace and the Birthday Monster,” to the children. A surprise visit from “Clifford the Big Red Dog” will also entertain them.
Author, Jamie Vacho Knisbeck, is a fun, loving, and passionate woman who loves family, food and gardening. Jamie lives in Wisconsin with her music-loving husband, Trevor, two daughters, Zoie, who you you’ll find swimming in the waters, Sidney will be tapping across the stage, and her son, Dax, who is two and will greet you with a roar of a dinosaur and gladly dual you to a sword fight.
Illustrator Charlie Christman, works as a preschool teacher and a commercial artist in Milwaukee. He loves teaching young children through art discovery. He has contributed printed work for magazines, and children’s books. Among them are the “Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin Activity Book.”
