Hey Joanna,

Thank you for this wonderfully written article, history and tradition has always intrigued me as a child and I never had the chance to pursue it. Reading this takes me back to the days when my granny told me stories of the old. I wonder how many kids like me don't have access to read such interesting and insightful articles.

I work for The WALLOBOOKS Project. We make tiny little books for kids in adversity that print on a single sheet of paper. We would love to publish your article in your tiny book format, and make it accessible to the children of the world.

Please feel free to contact me @ yamini@wallobook.org
