Meet An Amazing Who Loves Books And The Joy Of Giving

Betty X. Davis opted for a most unusual way to mark her 104th birthday. She requested that those wanting to celebrate her big day start a book drive to collect 104 books to donate to a local elementary school. In the short time leading up to her special day, 120 books were collected, fulfilling Betty’s wish and then some. As a former public school speech therapist, children are dear to Betty’s heart and their access to books especially important. When the Austin, Texas chapter of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators sought to honor her with a substantial award on the her 100th birthday, she requested that it instead create the Betty X. Davis Young Writers of Merit Award. What a giving and caring lady!
