How do you feel about this as a form of charity?

I wrote a children's book on the value of being on time. My idea is to give them away as a form of charity.... Have you heard of giving away a book that an author writes as a form of charity?

    Yes. I am working for a charity at the moment, producing a book - a record of social history - which the charity will then give away for free.

    I think it is a good idea, but the book still has to be exceptionally well done. Or it will end up in the bin.

    I love that idea... and children need to understand the importance of time from an early age- great thought.

    I worked for a non-profit and they sold a book that was written and produced for them for free. I say go for it; sounds like a good idea!

    I think it's a fantastic idea. So many things can come of reading...new dreams born, et cetra. I'm so glad I found your blog, fellow OC native, and I'm glad you stopped by mine! Have a great weekend & good luck with your project!

    Books are a fine charitable donation. Either directly, or used as a fundraiser.
