Pages for a Fresh Start

What a wonderful set of tales to read! Curious Chris - Why No Flamingo and Musical Soul Mates: A Girl Who Hears Music Everywhere are phenomenal additions to any child’s library. Both stories take a peak into the inner workings of a child’s mind and imagination as they process their world around them.

You can find Cindy B Witty books on Amazon and check out her FB, IG, and website for any important updates and locations to buy her books! Thank you Cindy for supporting the children of NC!

Thank you for the 300+ followers! I apologize for the hiatus - some background info about me - I have a 1 year old who just started daycare, I’m working on finishing my teaching license, I’m working part time now, so you’ll still see me here and there, but I’ll just be a bit more busy than usual! 😊💚

These WNC children’s book donations are from Cindy B Witty, Riverford Bookclub, Norma, and Angela! Thank you! 💚🙏🏼

I am still accepting books from authors and will review and make a collaborative post 💚!

BeLoved Asheville is doing great things in their community!

Our dear friends from J-Star Ministries made the journey once again from Longview, Texas, bringing critical supplies for our community. This marks their second visit, and every time, their heart for service and compassion leaves us in awe. As we spoke, I realized just how deeply they care—always three steps ahead in thinking of others. They shared with us that they've already started rallying businesses in Texas to gather toys for the children affected by the hurricane this Christmas.

There are moments when the love pouring in from people across the country leaves us speechless. To witness so many united in solidarity is what gives us hope. Today, we invite each of you to join us in your own communities by organizing toy drives to make this holiday season a beacon of joy amid the devastation. Because together, we can make a difference, and only together, it’s possible. 🌟

If you’re willing to drive some books into WNC - check out this great resource 📚💚.

Several of you have already packed your cars with Book Harvest books in an effort to support classrooms, childcare centers, and families rebuilding their libraries in Western North Carolina. Y'all are amazing!

Are you headed to WNC? If you have the capacity and know people who need them, we invite you to stop by our Grab & Go Book Bins in Durham and load up on children's books. You can take as many books as you're able! We have empty boxes and bags if you need them. Find out more at https://www.bookharvest.org/grabandgobookbins.

🌈 Rainbow Panda 🐼
A colorfully illustrated children’s read-aloud that emphasizes the need for seeing yourself as loved, unique, precious, and capable of many things!

I adored reading about Little Pandas’s journey with Mommy Panda as she describes each of the colors inside Little Panda - like how green 💚 is the energy filling you with love for all other things. It really resonated with some of the reasons why I started the children’s book drive.

Rainbow Panda is a great book for little ones to hear as they explore and hear their worth from their parents 🌈🐼.

If you’d like to support and purchase a copy you can check her book out on Amazon or in our children’s book drive registry! Link in Bio.
