‘You Can Help’ and Welcome to Pesky!
Thursday, January 22nd, 2009
During 2008, the children’s author Lauren Child (of Charlie and Lola fame) teamed up with UNESCO in support of its Programme for the Education of Children In Need campaign by creating a special edition of her widely acclaimed book That Pesky Rat.
We are supporting Lauren’s work with UNESCO and she has kindly provided permission for us to use an image of Pesky as our mascot along with a link to UNESCO’s My life is a story website on both our website and vehicle/s. We will shortly be arranging for vehicle graphics but meantime, hopefully anyone reading this will have already spotted Pesky (as of today) perched happily at the top right hand corner of our site where, we hope his stay with us will be a very happy one!
Please have a look at www.mylifeisastory.org to see the work that Lauren, Pesky and UNESCO are doing to help under privileged children. We would be delighted if you can offer your support by purchasing a copy of Lauren’s special edition book of That Pesky Rat (the Unesco’d version!). The book publisher Hachette Children’s Books is supporting both Lauren Child and UNESCO’s My life is a story campaign by donating all profits from the sale of the new edition of That Pesky Rat for a three year term. The book costs £5.99 and is available to purchase direct from Amazon as well as from other booksellers.
To find out more about how we are supporting Pesky, please check out our Fund Raising and Volunteering page and also our Kids Page section.
