"Love only grows by sharing. You can only have more for yourself by giving it away to others." -- Brian Tracy
A Child's Spirit Of Giving
Keon Scott was asked what he wanted for Christmas. "Nothing," he replied, "I already have everything I want." That is hardly the response one might expect from a ten year old boy; but Keon is quite extraordinary. Take a look at his thoughtfulness, energy, and take-charge attitude in organizing a toy drive for homeless children in his Harlem neighborhood. Invite your children to join you to watch and learn more about the inspiration behind Keon's Christmas toy drive! [watch video]

 Mr. Getaway and the Christmas Elves
By: Sally Huss
Ages: 3-8
"I love this book by Sally Huss! The illustrations are great! EVERYBODY is DANCING!!! It is so whimsical and joyous with elves making presents and ice skating and flying around their busy shop. The joy is contagious! As often is the case, Sally teaches a lesson here as the children watch and learn the beauty of giving for the sake of giving and the joy of work when working at something you love! How many of us can be reminded of this every day!" -- Amazon Reviewer
