This Easter, give the lasting gift of a good book

As Easter approaches, it’s good to think about different ways to celebrate this holiday, especially if all the children in your family have grown up and you’re wanting to do something special to mark the occasion. 

A donation of a book for a child or young person through the Wood Street Mission’s Books Forever Appeal, is a brilliant way to celebrate Easter. It’s also a lasting gift and a good book often leaves a lifelong impression on the person who reads it. 

Pax is a heartwarming children’s book by Sara Pennypacker which showcases the friendship between a young boy named Peter and his pet Fox called Pax. Pax is also illustrated by Jon Klassen and was on the National Book Award longlist. 

This fantastic book has the same longevity as other classics like Toms Midnight Garden and The Secret Garden, and it also shares a similar theme of child and animal friendship, which is often explored in many classic children’s stories. 

Donating a book like Pax to the WSM’s Books Forever Appeal couldn’t be easier! You can drop a new book off in person or have it delivered direct to the Wood Street Mission, 26 Wood Street, Manchester, M3 3EF, the UK.
