Do you enjoy reading with your kids or grand kids? My grand daughter loves taking turns reading out loud with me. Reading out loud is awesome for growing a child’s confidence, and reading skills. She also reads in the early mornings before everyone wakes up. Which reminds me of how I love to read with coffee in the mornings. 

Overview of the book, “A Drop of Hope”

A Drop of Hope; offers empathy and hope. #ADropofHope is a book that shows how a single act of kindness can create waves and remind us how powerful a little hope can be. With unforgettable characters. A teacher who inspires children by reading stories and sharing a story about the wishing well. Not just any wishing well but, one that can (potentially) grant wishes.When all the folks in the town hit a crossroads of despair, simple acts of kindness begin to blossom. 

“”Three sixth graders are the only ones who know why. (and the main characters) Ernest Wilmette believes a good deed can make magic happen. Ryan Hardy thinks they should just mind their own business. Lizzy MacComber believes in facts, not fairy tales. Of course you don’t have to believe in wishes to make one.””

“”If only””

kids book excerpt from the book A Drop of Hope - See the full synopsis and more details of this new release children's book. DearCreatives.com

The town, Cliffs Donnelly which was supposed to be named after two prominent families but, ultimately wasn’t. On a sign on the south side of town letters were blacked out all you could see on the sign was if only,“if only” started as a joke but, soon was a expression of grief and sorry. “” People who used to say things like “If only I hadn’t blown out my knee in high school I could’ve gone pro,” or “If only I had practiced guitar more I could have been a rock star,” were now saying, “If only the factory hadn’t shut down I could’ve kept the house,””….. It was making people like Ryan’s dad angry. 

Everything about the town was changing. How does hope come back to this town? It starts in the smallest ways and starts to snowball. Ryan cuts the lawn of a widow who is on a fixed income and he does it for free. Ernest grandpa asks him to clean out the attic as a request when he is sick and dying. He stumbles on an unopened package sitting on a rocker when he works his way into the room to clean it out. But, it doesn’t stop there. Thanks to the wishing well which unexpectedly begins to grant wishes. See what happens when wishes are made.
