Little Ray

If we want confident readers, we must feed them content worth reading.

📚 Look at their books.
📚 Listen to their frustrations.
📚 Swap drill-based text for stories that spark imagination.

Good material isn’t a luxury — it’s treatment.

At our Thanksgiving reading, a curious young reader asked, “Doesn’t the Goopy Ghost spread goop wherever he goes?” 💫
I smiled and said, “You’ll find out at Christmas!” 🎄
Curious minds deserve rewards!

But someone didn’t listen… 😏

Now look what happened —
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ FIVE STARS!

Turns out The Amazing Flight of Little Ray is too good to put down!
Books aren’t meant to be skimmed like greeting cards — they’re meant to be shared, savored, and read again and again.

🚫 DON’T BUY THIS BOOK!
🐠 Kids won’t stop talking about it!
📚 Worse: You’ll be reading it every night!

Here's the scoop from Matthew Appelo (to whom we're grateful):

Amazon may be selling “used” books that were never actually used? 📚
Authors work hard to publish and promote their books.
Amazon prints extra copies, then lists them as “used.”
Readers buy them, thinking they’re resale bargains.
The authors never get a penny of royalties.💸

🌊✨ A Shark, A Ray… and A Lesson for All of Us ✨🌊

One recent reader shared that Ray & Shark isn’t just a children’s story—it’s a story for everyone.

📖 They read it with a 19-year-old, who loved how it reflected real life:
✔️ The challenge of joining a new community
✔️ The hesitation of others to let you in
✔️ The discovery that teamwork benefits all

In the end, Ray & Shark reminds us that collaboration beats competition. 💙

👮📖 Books, Not Bookings
Why throw the book at kids… when you can read it with them?

A Cambridge study shows readers have fewer mental health problems and higher cognitive skills than tech surfers.

✨ The right stories in the right hands can change futures.

Meet rays, sharks, armadillos, and raccoons! Each story highlights problem-solving, teamwork, and adaptability in the wild — lessons that inspire young readers to think and grow. https://littleraychildrensbooks.org

Holiday Revival
Kids love holidays — yet too often, celebrations get pushed aside in schools and communities. When that joy is missing, children lose more than a party… they miss chances to learn teamwork, empathy, and creativity.

At Little Ray Children’s Books (501c3 nonprofit), our characters Goopy Ghost & Little Ray bring kids back to the joy of celebration — where imagination meets learning.

✨ Let’s trade stigma for sparkle. Let’s put joy back into childhood.
