1. SEALL Children’s Book Club

During the last newsletter, I shared with you some exciting news about a children’s book club I recently launched, along with a friend, Rena Olsen.

Our Mission:

The mission of SEALL Club is to connect educators and parents with values-added children’s books and authors.

We are primarily focusing on conducting in-person events. However, we are also pursuing partnerships with organizations, schools and churches.

We plan to invite additional authors of values-added children’s books to join SEALL in the future.

SEALL Club promotes our shared vision of instilling favorable social skills, confidence, and emotional well-being in children through stories of kindness.

Rena Olsen, author of Maxine's Joy

Maxine teaches young readers that joy can be found even during difficult times. And that joy is best lived when shared with others. Maxine’s Joy is a true story, based on the joy-filled life of Rena’s mom, Maxine.

Kelli Joyner, author of I Don't Think So!

Young readers will delight in following Mia’s tale of overcoming shyness and the joys of friendship while embarking on magical adventures as they learn that their greatest gift is being oneself.

Maxine’s Joy is a philanthropic project. All profits donated to Alzheimer’s causes supporting families living through dementia.

10% of all proceeds from I Don’t Think So! will be donated to Summit Counseling Center, supporting children in need of free or subsidized counseling.
