A Huge Thank You to All Sponsors!

 

I'd like to personally thank the sponsors of my Readers Grow Into Leaders Literacy Program. So far the program has raised over $6,500.00 and more than 500 students have been sponsored. About 450 books have already been distributed to students at under-funded schools in our community. The kids have been fantastic, and they truly are inspired by the program. Visit http://greenhousekids.com/Readers_School_Visits to view the videos of the students receiving your books!

My third book in The Greenhouse Kids series, Meet The Greenhouse Kids, has gone to print and should be released in February 2011. This book is for young readers aged 3 to 6 and introduces them to the gardening-themed characters and the flowers they are named after in The Greenhouse Kids books for children 8 to 12. Meet The Greenhouse Kids also depicts some scenes from Dan Delion's Secret and Ghost Walk.

 

Happy Holidays, and thank you once again for brightening the life of children!
