Because Kids CAN Change the World!

I just came across this book on Twitter and had to share it with you!  I follow the Do Something organization on Twitter and they mentioned that they have a book coming out called Do Something! A Handbook for Young Activists.  As the title suggests, it’s all about getting kids to become involved in making changes in their communities and in the world.

I immediately put in my order because I feel that this is such an important piece of the puzzle in turning great kids into incredible adults.  I believe that if  kids are involved in things that don’t revolve around them, they get a new perspective on life.

Admit it, we all see how selfish we can be.  All we care about at times is how things affect us.  Do we really want our children to grown up thinking that they only need to care about themselves?  I say no, and that’s why I’m supporting this book and what it stands for.  Must be the  former Girl Scout  in me!

If you have children, or are an aunt, uncle, teacher, or anyone else who works with kids, consider getting this for them.  OR, you could get it and work on a project together.  I know that I will be reading it to my nieces and nephews, cousins and even sharing it with my niece’s teacher who I volunteer with.

Congrats again Do Something!  I hope it becomes a best seller and more importantly, your work turns a new generation into a special group of activists who will change our world!  CLICK HERE to order the book and get more information!

Just my humble opinion…Pebbles

I would love to hear what you think about this book!  Do you think we’ve all become too selfish?  What are you doing to make a difference in someone else’s life?  Leave me a comment!
