About the Author
Susan Justice: - Susan Justice, a dedicated children's legal advocate and co-founder of a groundbreaking organization fighting child abuse, felt the urge to do something more. Diving into the world of books, she discovered a real lack of resources that gently tackled the world's inequalities and encouraged kids to step up and help others. The harsh truth about widespread hunger and the limited access to basic needs like food, clean water, and education often stay hidden from children's innocent eyes. Susan's passion ignited, pushing her to shine a light on these pressing issues and inspire kids to get involved and make a difference.

As a loving mom of three babies, she constantly searched for ways to teach them important values and help them appreciate the resources they had, which many kids around the world could only dream of. With a determined heart, Susan embarked on a journey to create a book that would teach young people about the importance of gratitude, the power of believing in something bigger than themselves, and the amazing magic found in acts of giving.
