Can we help Barnados?

I have received the following email and replied to the effect that we would be delighted to help in any way we can. Now it's down to you!

Dear ABC Tales,

Can members of your writing group help us with a book we are producing to raise money for Barnardo's? We are looking for very short stories of about 100 words. They must be on the theme of “Things Kids Say” and should be funny illustrations of amusing things that children have said. We hope you can help because we need more material for the book and half of the £5.99 cover price goes to Barnardo's.

We launched the book with the help of actress and TV celebrity Lynda Bellingham recently, and your members can see more details and an interview with Lynda at http://www.unitedpress.co.uk/itn.php.

We are also looking for people to do simple black ink illustrations of some of the funny stories, so if you can help in any way please let us know.

Many thanks,
Peter Quinn
