Our vision, for this program, is for all children to benefit by having access to our content free of charge. In doing this we are still in need of funding to operate business and expand. Contributions from generous donors allows us to do this. We want to thank you in advance for spreading the word of our site and also for financially helping however you are able so we can continue to bring these lessons to the world, free of charge. Below are the costs we have yearly. For your donation we can issue you a 501c3 tax write off letter and continue our mission to support children with lessons that build fine motor skills, visual communication skills and confidence. Join our cause today and kindly donate.

An interesting and very unique donation we received to help support our efforts.
– The Elizabeth Stone Collection
Elizabeth spent many years in support of children’s books, the art shown within the book pages, and the illustrations that created the memorable imagery we know and love. She is wise in years and has given her collection to us so that we may continue to spread the joy of illustrations to others. In this collection, we now have hundreds of pieces. Many of them are original works from published books, and we have numerous signed, limited edition prints for sale as well. She even gave us many first edition children’s books. We are grateful to her for so many things! Thank you, Elizabeth!

We will be adding more to the Elizabeth Stone Section of the store in the future. Contact us if you are interested in any other pieces from the Elizabeth Stone Project Collection. We would be happy to talk to you about the artwork.
