Go Read is the inside story of a book written by the book itself. It is an autobiography in which the book explains to readers that they don’t need batteries or a charging cord to read this book. And that if you sit on the book it won’t crack, but you will magically grow taller.

The centerpiece is the introduction of the book’s twenty-six roommates, also known as, The Alphabet. The roommates are presented in a humorous way with funny illustrations and silly situations to showcase each member of the alphabet in a memorable way.

In the end, the book reminds readers that books sometimes get lonely sitting unopened in a pile, or on a shelf, and to remember if you want to make yourself, or a book, very happy then, Go Read.

Go Read is designed to help kids learn the alphabet in a fun-filled way and to inspire them to read. Research shows that kids who are avid readers tend to get better grades and have a better chance of being happier, healthier and more confident.

Written and illustrated by best-selling, award-winning, children’s book author and motivational speaker, Trevor Romain, Go Read is designed to be read to kids in the kindergarten age range.

“On behalf of the World Literacy Foundation, l am pleased to highly recommend “Go Read” to you. Trevor’s use of words and illustrations immediately captivate young readers in the story. The book is helping kids find the joy of reading in their early years. Today’s readers and Tomorrow’s leaders. “

A few weeks ago, after an all-day power outage and a severe thunderstorm, on the rural road outside the orphanage where we had been visiting for three weeks, there was a horrific, fatal accident.

Marion Cloete and her family who run the Botshabelo orphanage (in the Magaliesburg, in South Africa) responded immediately and I joined them being some of the first people on the scene as we ran through the rain and pitch-black, mud-soaked, fields to reach the accident.

I won’t go into detail but I was shocked to the core.

Not long after, many of the older kids in the orphanage arrived to help. I was touched beyond words by their compassion, composure, and kindness. In a truly touching gesture, as there were no blankets around, one of the kids respectfully donated his jacket to cover the body.

Because of the power outage, there was no cell phone service due to the storm and other factors. It took the emergency services over an hour and a half to arrive.

They directed traffic, managed the scene, collected belongings that were strewn along the road, said prayers for the man who lost his life and comforted the people who had come from the village and orphanage to help.

Words cannot describe this amazing community and how they came together as one during this gut-wrenching, terrible tragedy.

Botshabelo Strong!

In honor of all at the orphanage, I would like to share this little documentary video I made of a day in the life of my Botshabelo family.

Thank you all for the amazing, love-filled visit. I’ve just been back in the US for half a day, but I miss you all already.

This is Botshabelo.
