Love Letters and Children’s Literacy

I love hearing about other women’s passions and interests.

There is something motivating and inspiring about another momma, trying to impact the world, doing the best she can to make a difference.

Luckily, being a blogger means that I am often introduced to and impressed with some pretty amazing moms.

It keeps me going. It makes me feel like there is a way to help others, while still be primarily focused on the needs of my family.

Please know, I received books and compensation in exchange for this review. However, as always, all opinions expressed are 100% my own. I only recommend products or services that I feel are beneficial to my readers and my family

A Mother’s Passion for Reading to Children

I recently discovered the work of Soraya Diase, and was interested in learning more about her. She is a mom to two sons, and worked professionally as a lawyer and judge. Through her work, she developed a passion for the impact of literacy and reading, in the lives of children.

She formed a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the As the Stars of the Sky Foundation, Inc., and began writing quality children’s books.

In Soraya’s own words –

My profound interest is promoting literacy. My slogan is “Reading helps children achieve their divine destinies.” As a Christian, I believe that every child has a God-given destiny. From my own personal experiences as well as my professional experiences as a lawyer and former judge, I have seen how critical literacy is in a child’s life.

All the proceeds from the sale of my books go to As the Stars of the Sky Foundation, Inc., a  nonprofit foundation, to promote the importance of literacy in a child’s life. 

I love to read to children whenever and wherever I can. I read at Head Start Centers, elementary schools, clinics, and children’s parties. 

Based on her impressive experience, I was happy to take a look at her children’s books on the history of our holidays.

Love Letters and Children’s Literacy

The books in this Love Letters series are  stories about the foundation of the holidays.

Written as ‘love letters’ to Mr. Pumpkin, Mrs. Turkey and Mr. Santa Claus, these books introduce kids to the true meaning of Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The Highlights of Reading Love Letters to your Children

1. The books are warm and engaging. The tone is kind, reverent and at times, really funny.
2. The illustrations are beautiful. These books are gorgeous and again, at times, funny. (The illustrations made my son laugh out loud.)
3. There is genuine history throughout, and an emphasis on the Christian perspective associated with our holidays.

The best part?

All proceeds from purchases of the Love Letters books go directly to the As The Stars Of The Sky Foundation, and will help other children.
