      Hello T Renarda, Thank you for reaching out. The books listed are books that I have personally received in the mail for the virtual party. Can you kindly email me at admin (@) multiculturalchildrensbookday (.) com? So we can further discuss. I’ll need to know to what address you mailed the books to, and if you completed the book donation form. Kind regards, Frances, RYW Project Manager.
