I cannot recall any of the holiday gifts I received when I was 2, 3, 4, or even 5 years old; however, I do vividly recall the books that were read to me over and over (and then later, the books I learned to read with), and I even remember their message. For example, “Green Eggs and Ham”, by Dr. Seuss, is one of my life mantra’s: Try everything at least once (even cliff-diving in Hawaii, or moving to Africa when you are 18 years old!) Or , what about a book as simple as “Goodnight Moon”? And who can forget “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein, or Maurice Sendak’s “Where the Wild Things Are”?
I know you are all being flooded with holiday gift discounts, sales and such, but this year you have the opportunity to give a brand new, conscientious series of early children’s books, called Wise Heart Books. People cannot buy these books at Borders, Target or Wal-Mart, so no worries about a gift faux-pas!
The Wise Heart Books’ “Smart Values Series” is a collection of five delightful stories that help children understand the positive and transformative nature of good values. Each story describes how certain values – such as generosity, cleanliness, and honesty – can change us for the better and just for the holidays: you can get all five books for only $24.99. Or you can buy them separately for only $6.99 each (but this does not include shipping and handling—which makes me question, what exactly do they mean by handling?!!!).

On top of your gift to your favorite niece or your colleague that just had a baby boy, the proceeds to go to the Women’s Well-Being and Development Foundation (http://www.wwd-f.org/index.html) youth educational programs in La Carpio, the slums of San Jose, Costa Rica. We are currently in the process of developing 3 slum houses into an eco-friendly community play, learn and community center.
And only until Christmas, are we offering this deal:
5 books for only $24.99 (this is 20% off the regular price!!!)
$6.99 a book
(does not include shipping and handling)
Free shipping for orders over $50
