Bedstock 2015 is here! Watch your favorite authors read from their beds on Giving Tuesday as a show of support for kids with cancer and other serious illnesses, who are often confined to bed.
#Bedstock_Mac_barnett For #GivingTuesday, top authors read from under their covers for #Bedstock, the world’s first in-bed music festival, to raise awareness and funds for MyMusicRx, a program of the Children’s Cancer Association. MyMusicRx delivers the healing power of music to kids and teens facing cancer and other serious illnesses. #Bedstock_Maile_Meloy   Participating children's authors (some with their pets) included Carson Ellis, Mac Barnett, Laurel Snyder, Jon Klassen, and Maile Meloy.
