Gracie's Story Changes Lives
Gracie motivates children to read. They want to know her, how she overcame her injuries, and how she helps Diane. They want to join her on tail-waggin’ adventures! By reading about Gracie, children: learn to read more easily, develop language and listening skills quicker, increase their attention span, develop their imagination, and expand their ability to think "outside the box."
Gracie’s stories promote morals, values and a higher standard of thinking. Reading them helps children build a strong foundation that will lead to a lifetime of success! With your help, we can provide free books for children who need to develop the skills, habits and traits most commonly associated with success because Gracie’s books create a love of the written word. Agencies, foster homes, schools, civic groups, and/or hospitals often sponsor Love Kits for local programs. When sponsorship funds are available, SCwSG will match budgets dollar for dollar or help with other arrangements to make Love Kits available for all children in need.
