Building Bridges & Communities One Book at a Time

Our mission is to put a book in the hands of any child that’s willing to read one.

In my opinion, a great book that all kids should have a chance to read is
“Charlotte’s Web” by E.B. White.
This book is recommended for children ages 8-12, but it’s also a great story to
read to younger kids and has spanned the years. It was written in 1952 and is still
ranked on Amazon at #465 in overall books, and #16 in children’s classics.
The themes of kindness, empathy and friendship are universal. It even touches on
the subject of death, but not in a way that is frightening, but rather a part of life. It
also emphasizes the power of loyalty, love and respect for the differences of
others. The story is conveyed in a way that children understand, and hopefully
they can put those messages into action in their own lives. Even death is a part of
the story, but not in a way that is frightening to a child, but rather expressed as a
part of life and reminds us that love does live on through memories and others that
are still to come. The story itself is engaging and keeps a child’s attention,
whether they are the reader or having the story read to them.
A perfect summary of this story is found in a portion of a letter that I found written
by the author to a young reader:
“In real life, a spider doesn’t spin words in her web … But real life is only one kind

The very first book I remember reading as a child was The Rainbow Fish by Marcus
Pfister, translated by J Alison James.
This book first caught my eye because of its colorful and beautiful illustrations.
The cover was that of a beautiful rainbow fish that has scales of various shiny
colors. The story follows this same rainbow fish on the cover as they live their life
in the sea and they come across a fish who asks to have one of their scales. The
rainbow fish is appalled this dull-colored fish would ask him of this and expresses
that if he gives him one of his beautiful scales then he would not be as beautiful.
All the fish in the ocean hears about this and ignore him for being so mean to the
fish who asked for a scale. The rainbow fish is confused and lonely, so seeks out
the advice of the wise octopus on why people are treating him this way. The
octopus expresses that people are hurt he would not share his scales since he has
so many and that they want to be as beautiful as him. The rainbow fish is hesitant
as he is afraid if he gives away his scales then he would not be beautiful. The
octopus asks the rainbow fish whether it’s important to be the lonely, beautiful fish
or the sharing fish who looks like everyone else.
The rainbow decides to give away a scale and when he saw how happy it made the
fish it made him happy. He decided to give away all his beautiful scales until he
only had 1 rainbow scale left. The rainbow fish looks around and sees that
everyone now has a rainbow scale and this makes him happy. The other fish are
friends with him now and the rainbow fish realizes that even though he doesn’t
think he is as beautiful, his friends do not care because he shared with them.

Donate Books for Schools

We believe in today’s fast-paced world it is necessary to create a love of reading at a young age, on top of providing books to Feight Club members throughout the country. We also focus on helping children here at home. We know that it is tough for children to get their hands on books at school in poor and underprivileged communities. One of our goals is to work with underfunded and underserved schools in our community to ensure that children have access to books in the early grades. We hope to provide books and supplies to our communities in need starting with the greater Los Angeles area and then hopefully the world.

I think books are incredibly important to our human development for two major
reasons
1. I think reading is important because it helps me communicate with the people
around me and be able to understand who they are and where they come from
based on what I have learned about people in the books I have read. Books bring
me to a whole other world where food, families, and homes can be completely
different than what I am used to. I love learning and experiencing life through the
books that I read. Reading brings together communities and cultures as well as
raises awareness of the differences around us. Our world needs more love and
acceptance and books teach us to do just that.
2. Reading is an incredibly important skill and talent to have because it teaches the
fundamentals of communication. Communication is what builds successful and
wise leaders. By reading books, we are provided a plethora of words and ways to
say things so that when we need to speak, we can speak with power and wisdom.
Words carry power and when we read, we learn the magic of what we can do with
those words. When someone needs us, we can pick them up with just a few words.
