Enter to win a class set of If You Plant a Seed and Read, Create & Share in our kindness giveaway.

Our world needs more kindness.  Our kids are never too young to learn about kindness and helping others.  It’s one of the main reasons I wrote the book, Read, Create & Share this year.  I wanted my kids to infuse kindness throughout the year and not just as the holidays.

If You Plant a Seed reminds all of us that spreading kindness has great rewards.  The illustrations are warm, vibrant and inviting.

    This sounds like a wonderful book. I work at a public library and get invited to a local school to do a monthly storytime for a kindergarten class. This would be a perfect gift for them.

However needs of her 5 year old AUTISTIC son are best met via Homeschooling & she’s doing a stellar job!

I have 24 kindergartners this year who are most likely the best class I have had in 30 years! If you plant a seed would be the perfect end-of-the-year gift to my students. I have 24 kiddos!
