Welcome! to the I Care Book Fair, a marketplace of books about adults and children making courageous commitments to serve communities around the world, especially those with significant numbers of orphans and vulnerable children. In honor of Mother’s Day 2011 (Sunday, May 8), Mothering Across Continents (MAC) supporters and volunteers recommend the initial Top 10 non-fiction collection below – in three categories. The selections underline our idea that in a global era ‘maternal instincts’ and ‘mothering’ often extend well-beyond beyond our own families and geographic borders.

• Books will be available through the website at least through Mother’s Day 2012.
• A portion of book sales will fund MAC support of projects in places such as Haiti, South Africa, Rwanda and southern Sudan.
• We invite book clubs to read at least one book from the list in the next year and make a tax-deductible donation of any size.
• On Mother’s Day 2012, MAC will announce how much money was raised and how it was used.

Amount:



• Please start and join discussions about these books at www.facebook.com/MotheringAcrossContinents.

Have you already read every book on our list? You can still help. Simply fill in the amount of your tax-deductible contribution in the box at the right and click the "Donate Now" button. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of children around the world.

IMPORTANT: During your buying and checkout process, you may see a box asking you to indicate if your purchase is for the Bookfair. This question is not for the Mothering Across Continents (MAC) I Care Book Fair. The box is for a different Barnes & Noble Bookfair program. DO NOT check the box at the bottom of the screen indicating your order is a Bookfair order. Instead, just go ahead and complete your order so that a percentage of the sale will go to MAC.
