“Every now and again a small idea comes along which has the potential to make a big difference. The Pelican Post is one of those. I’ll certainly be supporting it and I hope many others do too.”
RT HON JEREMY HUNT MP: Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media & Sport, Member of Parliament
“I have visited schools in Africa where Pelican Post books have made a very real difference. Books matter to all of us but they matter most of all to children who can’t take them for granted which is why I think this is a marvellous scheme.”
BEVERLEY NAIDOO, Children’s Author / Supporting Pelican Post Author
“What a great idea…this gives the individual the opportunity to feel that they can make a difference. And the great thing about books is they go on journeys…for whoever is going to read that book.”
ALEXANDER MCALL SMITH, Author / Supporting Pelican Post Author
”I think this scheme is wonderful, and I am very keen to support this. Throughout much of Africa, a book is precious and therefore getting hands on a book is very important to people. What is also very appealing about the Pelican Post is that I think it is rather nice for children to be able to read stories that they can identify with.”
MARIELLA FROSTRUP: TV & Radio Presenter, Journalist“It’s very easy in this country, where books are both readily available and affordable to forget what a luxury they are in other parts of the globe. The Pelican Post is a brilliant initiative and offers a near effortless way for each of us to make a tangible contribution to bettering a child’s life.”LENNY HENRY CBE, Comedian, Actor & ‘Comic Relief’ Figure Head
“This idea is quite simply brilliant! The Pelican Post is not just about posting a single book but about leaving a legacy that will inspire countless generations of children to learn to read. Please support this scheme and post a book today.”
JULIA DONALDSON, Children’s Author
“Satisfyingly simple, I hope the Pelican Post continues to inspire children far and wide.”
