**Update** Thanks to the generosity of so many donors, we have met and exceeded our fundraising goals for Storyteller and Head Start, and are now raising funds to offer books to Artesania Para La Familia, to be added to a distribution they will do in January to families in Carpinteria, along with art supplies and protective masks. Any donations of books using the existing perks on the right will go to Artesania Para La Familia. We so appreciate your continued support! Thank you!**
We hope you enjoyed the reading of Why Am I and learning about our campaign partners in the video above. Thank you for sharing the love this holiday season by joining us at Seven Seas Press, as we gift this delightful book to 250 (or more!) three through five-year-old children served by Head Start and Storyteller Children’s Center.
We chose these outstanding organizations for their commitment to providing services to low-income families and children, and those living below or close to the poverty guideline, including those who meet the federal definition of homelessness.

Why Am I is a dreamy, soulful, joyous journey though a delightful day, beginning with a predawn discovery in the garden, and ending in a dance by moonlight with a sprinkling of stardust. Echoes of curiosity, respect and appreciation for the miracle of our natural world resonate from cover to cover. In addition, there is a comprehensive Discussion and Activity Guide at the back of the book for parents and teachers to use.
"Why Am I is as soothing as a lullaby. Lush illustrations engage children immediately, and the musical text speaks to their hearts. It recognizes that children have big questions and that we can respond gently and without moralizing. Reading Why Am I is a beautiful way to start the morning, a calming break in the middle of a busy day, and a sweet way to say good-night. It’s a helpful book to share with children during trying times, and an equally wonderful book to read in moments of joy and wonder. Conceived as a book for children, this is one of those poetic pieces that is likely to become a comforting adult favorite as well.”
