Can a drawing save a life? Six-year-old Kaylinh Lundell thinks so!
It all started with a car ride and a radiothon. While listening to story after story about the mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Kaylinh learned a heart-wrenching truth: many children are fighting illnesses that don't just go away in a few days.
Shortly after, Kaylinh got sick herself. Even though she was only down with the flu for four days, those four days changed everything. She realized that while she was resting and getting better, the kids she heard about on the radio were still wishing to feel better. She decided right then that it simply wasn't fair.
Draw For A Dream is the inspiring true story of Kaylinh's mission to raise $100,000 for St. Jude. It is built on her Kid Job philosophy: A kid's job should be to be cute, to be funny, to go to school, to play with friends, and to hope that their parents say yes to ice cream after dinner... not to be wishing to feel better.
This isn't just a book you read; it's a mission you join. As the first in a special living book series, The Beginning documents the spark of an idea that is growing into a movement of kindness.
Inside this book, you'll discover:
The Spark: How the stories from a radiothon inspired a six-year-old to dream big.
The Realization: Why Kaylinh believes no child should be too sick to dream about having fun.
The Mission: How Kaylinh is turning kid drawings into a $100,000 gift for St. Jude.
The Invitation: How YOU can join the Dream Team and become a character in the next chapter of this real-life story.
Join Kaylinh on her journey today. Because you are never too small to make a difference-and no child should be too sick to dream.
