We love books that gently teach kids about kindness.
I helped an elderly woman put Christmas lights in her bushes.
nice cover
A beautiful message with quite a handful of meaningful points.
I would like to win because I love new books.
The cover is beautiful!
I donated some toys to Toys for Tots. They estimate that over 20,000 children in western North Carolina need toys for Christmas after Helene, when the number was previously around 4,500
Love the artwork. I donate books to children.
