FIRST BOOK
This is an incredible organization that puts books into the hands of disadvantaged children who otherwise would never have the opportunity to own a book! Some of the children can't believe they can actually keep the book and don't have to return it! What a thrill it is to get kids reading and give them the joy of having a book to call their own! I am donating a percentage of my royalties from my new book IF YOU TAKE A MOUSE TO THE MOVIES to First Book. To see the First Book poster (click here) |

SUSAN G. KOMEN BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION
Last year I wrote a book called KIDS TALK. It was the first non-fiction book I've ever written. I was asked by Sprint (yes, the phone people!) and Samsung, to participate in their yearly October campaign for the Susan Komen foundation. They wanted a book for children to help them understand what their mother, aunt or someone they knew with breast cancer was going through. I immediately said I would love to and was teamed up with Dr. Wendy Harpham, who is a mother and a cancer survivor. David McPhail, who illustrated my book WHY A DISGUISE, did the wonderful artwork. The book was available free only through the month of October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness month. |

Unfortunately, many children contract AIDS. This foundation does wonderful work and I'm pleased to say that I donate a portion of my royalties from the IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE mini-book and Cassette package to them. |

DOGS FOR THE DEAF rescues dogs and trains them to help their owner "hear" the doorbell, the phone, the smoke alarm, etc! I think it makes for a terrific combination of companion, pet and lifesaver for the deaf. | |

NORTH AMERICAN HANDICAPPED RIDERS ASSOCIATION
This is an organization that helps people with disabilities enjoy the fun of riding horses. I want to see as many people as possible experience the joys of horseback riding. NAHRA teams up physically and emotionally challenged people with safe, gentle horses and caring, patient volunteers. I donate a portion of my royalties from the IF YOU GIVE A PIG A PANCAKE Mini-book and Cassette package to NAHRA. |
