  • The Little Red Hen
    The Little Red Hen
    Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!
  • Noisy Nora
    Noisy Nora
    Poor Nora! The loveable mousette experiences all the pangs of the child-in-the- middle, caught between the demands of baby brother and bossiness of big sister. Catchy meter, playful illustrations make for a wonderfully satisfying mouse's tale. Baby-Preschool

    A Chair for My Mother
    A remarkably beautiful story told by a young girl whose mother is a waitress. Since they lost all their furniture in a fire, they've been saving mother’s tips in a jar – so they can buy a big comfortable chair for their whole family to enjoy – daughter, mother and grandmother. Life has its ups and downs, but there’s always lots of love. Ages 4-7

Looking for a meaningful gift?

How about a goat?

Or a blanket or a fishing kit or a well?

Seriously, aren't we all getting a little tired of buying things for each other when there is so little we need?

If you're looking for something for someone who already has everything, try the World Vision Gift Catalog.

Love,

My best friend and I started doing this for each other last year through Samaritan's Purse. This year we have shared the idea with some other dear friends and we are all going to exchange "gifts that last". Last year my friend surprised me with a share in a fishing boat for a family who lost theirs in the Tsunami. I can't wait to see what I'll get this year!
