Goal - Partner with Animal & Nature Non-Profits
In a perfect world, Red Ribbit Reads will partner with organizations whose mission includes showing kindness and respect to nature and/or the well-being and care of animals.
I aim to find ONE non-profit partner for each published book. It takes time, effort, & a little luck to form these partnerships, but I hope to get there - such that every book sale will give back to animals & nature in some way, shape, or form.
In 2023, I (as the designer) worked with an author, illustrator, & PugHearts of Houston to launch The Great Rescue - Grayson's Story. PugHearts has an amazing social following, and we ultimately raised over $10k for the non-profit - pretty cool huh?
I was grateful to work with the same non-profit to launch my Little Pug Big Heart book, and donate an additional $1200 to PugHearts (I am a proud rescue pug & chug Mom). This is the type of thing I hope to do for EVERY SINGLE BOOK.
For my National Parks Explorer series, I currently send $1 of every sale AND make an annual donation to the National Parks Foundation. Today, you can find Charlie Armadillo books onsite in visitor centers at Channel Islands and Rocky Mountain National Parks.
