Wanna Be in a Children’s Book?

Seriously, who doesn’t?

Children’s author/illustrator and Worcester, Massachusetts native Jarrett Krosochka has launched his first annual Cyber-Monday online auction to benefit the Joe and Shirl Scholarship fund at the Worcester Art Museum … and one of the coolest items up for grabs is the chance to have your likeness drawn into one of his next LUNCH LADY books.

(Yowza!)

The Joe and Shirl Scholarship, created by Jarrett in honor of his grandparents, will fund art classes for needy children in unique familial situations. As a kid who grew up in just such a family, I think what Jarrett is doing totally rocks. And as a gal already worn out by seasonal consumer craziness, I’m thrilled to spread the word about this great cause.
