Jisel's Gifts

Jisel's Gifts 2024 National Parenting Product Award Winner (NAPPA) Follow a thoughtful little girl named Jisel in this heartfelt true story as she discovers there are children less fortunate than she is and embarks on a mission to do something about it. She even convinces her friends and peers to participate in donating new toys or stuffing stockings. This touching tale demonstrates the beauty of kindness and the incredible impact small acts can have on a community. Jisel's story aims to encourage empathy, creativity, teamwork, and a sense of responsibility in children by demonstrating that no act or person is too small to make a difference. Ignited by the spirit of generosity, young readers can't help but learn, grow, and find a cause of their own. The characters who help Jisel reflect a rich tapestry of backgrounds, inspiring readers to embrace diversity and inclusion as they embark on their journeys of giving. Children often learn from role models who help instill a sense of responsibility, empathy, and compassion from a young age. Early exposure to giving back can foster a lifelong commitment to social responsibility. By participating in volunteer work or community service, children develop a deeper understanding of societal needs and the power they hold to address those needs. They learn the value of helping others and nurture essential life skills such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. A True Story: This is the true story about Jisel and Marcos Ayon, who began their compassionate journey at a young age.
