Appearing on The View Wednesday morning, actor Julianne Moore talked about her work with Save the Children. She talked about poverty in the United States and then showed Valentine's Day cards she is promoting through Save the Children as a fundraiser. The valentines are designed by children's authors and illustrators including Brian Selznick who wrote the book on which the Academy Award-nominated movie, Hugo is based.
Julianne Moore said that she has worked with Save the Children for a few years. She is interested in helping children who live in poverty in the United States. She said that now the number of children living in poverty is one in four in this country. She came up with a fundraising idea to help.
She asked children's authors and illustrators she knows to draw a picture for the front of a child's Valentine's Day card. The Valentine's Day cards, sized 3-1/2 X 5", are being sold on the Save the Children website -- $25 for 30 limited edition valentines, six each of five designs.
Valentines are drawn by Mo Willems (Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!), Kevin Henkes (Kitten’s First Full Moon), Ian Falconer (Olivia!), Leuyen Pham (Freckleface Strawberry) and Brian Selznick (Hugo Cabret and Wonderstruck).
For more information, or to purchase the limited edition Valentine's Day cards to help American children living in poverty, see the Save the Children website.
