Purchase Emilio’s Very Bright IDEA

We have partnered with a generous author, Louise Green, and illustrator Penny Weber, who have donated their talents to help us introduce kids to Emilio, a young boy like them who, through his story, will help them understand that kids like them might not always know where their next meal is coming from—but everyone can make a difference and help those in need.

Emilio’s Very Bright IDEA is a children’s book designed to address this cause. Emilio is troubled when he sees a hungry child in a class presentation by Mr. Dixon on food scarcity at school, and the question is posed, “What Can We Do?” Emilio ponders about how to act and wants to get his friends and community involved with his very bright idea. They all spring into action to build a Little Free Pantry and to provide food items. Emilio knows that FOOD IS LOVE and wants every other child to know that special feeling too.

Let’s feed some kids!
