Books that Fight Hunger
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that the number of households that did not have sufficient food raised by 30% from 2007-2010. The recession has cause 12 million more people to go hungry. Are you doing everything you can to help these individuals?
In times of economic crisis, organizations like Second Harvest Food Bank are more necessary than ever. The Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties in California is “one of the largest food banks in the nation, providing food to an average of nearly one quarter of a million people each month.” They help connect families, seniors, and children to healthy food sources and resources in their counties. In addition to having a food pantry, they also offer programs such as Brown Bag which provides meals to low-income seniors, Partners in Need which provides food to low-income volunteers at the organization, and Produce Mobile which distributes fruits and vegetables to communities with limited access to fresh markets.
Partial proceeds of my children’s books (Bonita the Fruit Bat Counts to Ten, Momo Come Home, and Go Go Sadie) benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank. Do your part today by purchasing a Bonnie Lee book and visiting the Second Harvest Food Bank to drop off a canned food donation. To learn more about Second Harvest Food Banks, visit there website: www.shfb.org.

Educate Children about Wildlife
I’m sure by now you’ve all heard about the horrible tragedy that occurred in Ohio. An Ohio man who owned exotic animals released them into his community before killing himself. These animals were then hunted and killed by local authorities to prevent any harm to the surrounding communities. In light of this tragedy and in memoriam for these animals, it’s even more important to educate children about wildlife, their habitats, and how to best preserve their well-being.
Bonnie Lee Books help work to educate children about wild animals and their habitats in an effort to create a better informed society. Wild animals are not pets and they need to be treated with respect and caution.
Remember, partial proceeds from my books benefit the National Wildlife Federation. Help teach a young child about exotic animals and habitats AND donate to the National Wildlife Federation by purchasing a Bonnie Lee Book today.
I want to hear from you. How do you make sure your children respect nature?

Donate Book Proceeds to Nonprofits
As a children’s book author, I tend to meet fellow authors and book lovers at conferences or online in discussion forums. I continually become surprised when meeting an author who, not only isn’t affiliated with a nonprofit but also doesn’t donate proceeds of their books to nonprofit organizations.
As authors we’re expected to fit the romanticized stereotype of soulful intellectuals who deeply empathize with their readers. We’re not corporations, we’re better. We’re humans conveying meaningful stories that work to emotionally connect the reader to the world around them. Whether an author pens a horror thriller, children’s book, or a nonfiction book of recipes- they are still supplying the reader with knowledge and a better understanding of the world they live in. It only makes sense taht we would use this emotional reach to further connect with organizations that serve the most at-risk populations.
If you’re an author who rejects the aforementioned stereotype and instead writes only for book sales, keep reading. By donating proceeds of your book sales to nonprofits you can reap additional benefits. Consumers feel better about purchasing books when they know their money supports the author and an organization. They’re also less likely to purchase your book used online but instead buy it brand new and direct. Lastly, you can partner with the organization to receive additional press. By forming a partnership with a nonprofit, they will advertise your book on their media platforms (website, Facebook & Twitter) as well as encourage their networks to support your authorship.
The benefits are plentiful and so are the organizations in need. Be a good author; donate today.
