Although it was announced a month ago, I’m just hearing about the US Postal service’s plan to put some of our favourite kids lit characters on stamps. This is a great idea that is sure to be a favourite with card-sending grandparents and stamp-collecting kids alike.
As a former 10 year old stamp collector, I can appreciate how cool it would be to see Curious George or that wild thing from “Where the Wild Things Are” on my mail. It’s also a great way to boost awareness about children’s books and literacy in general.
Maybe it’s something Canada Post should think about.
