A Kids Guide to Giving is a children's book by author Freddi Zeiler, that sets out to teach and inform kids on how to "give" - be it money or otherwise - to charities and others. It is published by Innovative Kids in collaboration with By Kids For Kids
Author Freddi Zeiler realised when she was in 7th grade that she had a privileged life, seeing that other kids around the world worked all day just so their families could buy food and survive. She discovered sick and suffering people without the resources to buy medicine and that pollution threatened the global environment and destroyed wild animals’ homes.
Designed to inspire children, the book is a reference of many non-profit organizations that young people can relate to, divided into the categories People, Animals, and Environment.
Famous quotes containing the words kids, guide and/or giving:
“They [creative children] ask more questions than most children. They’re usually spontaneous and enthusiastic. Their ideas are unique and occasionally strike other kids as weird. They’re independent. Not that they don’t care at all what other kids think, but they’re able to do their thing despite the fact that their peers may think it’s strange. And they have lots and lots of ideas.”
—Silvia Rimm (20th century)
“A guide book is addressed to those who plan to follow the traveler, doing what he has done, but more selectively. A travel book, in its purest, is addressed to those who do not plan to follow the traveler at all, but who require the exotic or comic anomalies, wonders and scandals of the literary form romance which their own place or time cannot entirely supply.”
—Paul Fussell (b. 1924)
“For the shoe pinches, even though it fits perfectly.
Apples were made to be gathered, also the whole host of the world’s ailments and troubles.
There is no time like the present for giving in to this temptation.
Tomorrow you’ll weep what of it?”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
