Katy Budget Books Supports Books Alive!
Young children at Ronald McDonald House, Texas Children's Hospital and House of Tiny Treasures Homeless Daycare Center will receive a special treat thanks to a generous donation from Katy Budget Books when they participate in Katy Visual & Performing Art's (KVPAC) literacy program, Books Alive! this spring.
KVPAC takes Books Alive! to these groups free-of-charge and young audiences will receive a hard-bound book of their own thanks to Katy Budget Books. Kristin Miller, Books Alive! coordinator said, "Many of these children live with considerable challenges and to be able to do something meaningful to lift their burden, is a pleasure and a privilege. We are grateful for Katy Budget Book's support and commitment to community literacy". Katy Budget Books is located at 2450 Fry Road in Katy. Each Books Alive! production is adapted from a book and leaps from the page to the stage as a professional musical production.
The fall 2009 play, based on If You Give A Mouse A Cookie by Laura Numeroff, served more than 7,000 children in 43 locations through out the Houston area. The spring 2010 Books Alive! is Boo Who Moo based on the book by Margie Palatini and KVPAC has been awarded Texas Commission on the Arts grants for performances at schools, libraries and non-profit organizations.
Those interested in booking a performance or grant information should contact Kristin Miller, kmiller@KVPAC.org or 281-829-2787.
