The book was an entryway all along. I just didn't know it yet.
I wrote ABCs of Kindness when my oldest was five. Then life happened — we packed the book in a box, opened a children’s play center, poured everything into it, and watched it close.
Six years later, my son found it during a move and asked why my name was on it. My daughter made me read it again and again. That’s when I saw it clearly:
Years later, my kids found a children’s book I had written and set aside. They said: “Can we make it better?” That question changed everything.

KidsGiving Press books are designed for early elementary-age children and families to read together. They work well for read-alouds, classroom discussions, and independent reading as kids grow.
Our stories introduce empathy, confidence, and kindness through relatable characters and real-life situations. Each book is designed to spark conversation and encourage kids to practice what they learn through simple, meaningful actions.
A portion of every purchase supports community giving efforts and classroom resources. Through initiatives like family service projects and teacher scholarships, kids see how their actions can help others.
