Bus travel in the United States often finds itself the victim of unwarranted negative stigma. But as we’ve mentioned before, by improving the aesthetic experience of buses (and other forms of public transit) you can get more people to use them. Take a look at Urlesque’s list of the world’s coolest bus stops, and picture yourself passing the time between a stop and a transfer. A few highlights are after the jump. — (via GOOD)
Author and illustrator Dallas Clayton once wrote and illustrated a book for his son and called it An Awesome Book. He only printed a couple of copies and sold them on his website, but suddenly demand became so great and persistent, he quickly had to keep reprinting thousands of copies. Intoxicated by this great and very positive feedback, he decided to go on tour and read his book to as many kids as possible. And finally, he founded The Awesome World Foundation with the following heart-warming goal:
The foundation was formed in an effort to promote children’s literacy by encouraging kids to dream and dream often. The foundation’s goal is to donate one book for every copy of An Awesome Book sold by Awesome World llc. Books are delivered directly and distributed to schools, hospitals, libraries, camps and shelters both domestically and worldwide.
How awesome is all that? — (via precious forever)
Yep, the book is great, so the author. I was thinking to buy it. Thanks for reminder.
