Just beyond Earth’s’ galaxy resides the uncharted Planet No Books.  The residents of Planet No Books are Grots, mischievous little creatures resembling their environment, which is rich in irons and minerals such as gold, silver, and bronze.

Justice, the wise Grot leader of Planet No Books is bound and determined to find a way for his residents to enjoy the wonderful world of literature, but there remains a big problem.  You see Planet No Books received its name because Grots are born without arms and hands, merely big heads on funny looking feet.  Without hands Grots were unable to turn the pages of books and quickly became frustrated.  With idle minds and frustration to burn, the resident Grots started playing practical jokes upon one another – so the founding fathers banned all books.
 
Justice Grot is seeking your help.  He has made arrangements with students attending Freedom Acres A-Squared program to assist in finding new homes for selected Grot residents.  Justice Grot is hoping that these new homes will have children willing to read them books every day.  Grots will even bring a brand new book and reading blanket with them.
