New Children's Book Teaches the Importance of Being Charitable

Rootstown, OH, August 09, 2009 --(PR.com)-- In the current economic times, Ohio author E. L. Fortney has written an inspiring tale about a young girl who learns the importance of giving.

In Donation Day With Eva Steeva (77pp., softcover, $12.99) Eva wakes up one Saturday morning and discovers that it is garage cleaning day which always means a trip to the Donation Center. She knows that she will most likely have to part with one of her most prized possessions. By the end of the day, Eva learns the age-old adage that giving truly is better than receiving.

“Giving to people without the need for thanks is the best kind of giving,” states Fortney. He and his wife, illustrator D. K. Fortney, share this message with readers of Donation Day With Eva Steeva. In addition to donating goods, the book shows the main character’s family shopping at a donation center. “I want children to understand that it’s not only wonderful to be charitable but donation centers are also a great place to shop,” says E. L. Fortney. “You can purchase items at low prices and the money is used to help others in need. Additionally there is nothing more green than reusing.”
