Our board Chair, Melissa Miles was delighted to have been invited to speak at the Jewish Education Alliance on September 21st. Melissa was the guest speaker during “Food for Thought” and spoke about the need for disability representation in children’s literature.
Part of our mission is to raise awareness of the need to diverse books, so it was wonderful to be able to share this with the group.
Thanks to a generous donation from Leopold’s Ice Cream in Savannah, we were able to deliver almost 2,000 books to Fort Stewart today. These books will be distributed through Morale, Welfare and Recreation to each of the kids ages 3-8 in the Child Development Centers on both Ft. Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield.
One of our foundation’s aims is to raise awareness of kids with disabilities. We can’t wait for the young children of our nation’s service members to dig in to the books!
Huge thanks to Leopold’s and also the staff at MWR Ft. Stewart for making this happen!
We are thrilled to share purchase links for Jeremiah Justice Saves Camp!

We are getting amazing feedback from people to let us know how Jeremiah Justice Saves the Day is making a difference to special needs kids. Here is an excerpt of one message: “Just thought I would tell you how much the boy I gave your book to loved it. His mom says he has asked to have it read to him every day. He holds his trading card all the time while zipping around in his power wheel chair throughout his house. He talks about his new super hero a lot! Great job, you are really making a great impact on special needs children everywhere!”
This is exactly what our foundation is here for–to make a difference! Thanks for the wonderful feedback. Please keep it coming, and please review the book on Amazon if you want help spread the word! Thank you.
We’re super close to sharing buy links with you for Jeremiah Justice Saves Camp! In the meantime, please enjoy some samples of art, courtesy of our amazing illustrator, Rashad Doucet!

Covid-19 has surely given us pause, but we’ve been working behind the scenes. We were able to donate copies of Jeremiah Justice to all the campers of Camp Trach Me Away again this summer. The camp was virtual, but still great fun for the campers. We received the amazing news that our amazingly talented illustrator Rashad Doucet will illustrate our next book in 2021!! We are SO EXCITED that he’s making time in his incredibly busy schedule, and we are so grateful he loves the project as much as we do.
The sponsors of the Frosty Fun Run in Guyton invited us to come out and share Jeremiah Justice. It’s always nice to get out into the community and introduce people to the foundation and what we are working to do.
