The Goodness Garden

A children’s book about the magical power of spreading goodness.

Want to join in supporting a good cause? Donate this #GivingTuesday for Spread Goodness Day for publishing the new children’s book “The Goodness Garden: A Story About the Power of Spreading Goodness.”

Written by retired schoolteacher, Sue Meier and her niece, Megan Calderon, along with the talented Aaron Giannoni as the illustrator, The Goodness Garden is about the founder of Spread Goodness Day and her “special sun-shaped seeds" that make the world a brighter place. Sue has participated in our annual Spread Goodness Day enthusiastically for six years, Bringing our celebration to multiple schools and classrooms in her city!

Through this fundraiser, we will be able to provide free copies of the book to selected pre-kindergarten through second-grade classrooms throughout Michigan and hopefully beyond!

Sue and Megan are passionate about Anna’s story and her purpose for Spread Goodness Day: to make the world a better place. This book will help share her vision with the next generation and advocate for children's literacy.

We believe kindness is the single most powerful thing we can teach our children. We are confident this book will be a powerful addition to celebrating kindness, not only on Spread Goodness Day, but EVERY day.
