Why We Do It | Our
Beliefs
The Books
by Kids Foundation is a Florida-based non-profit organization that facilitates the production
of childrens books that are written and illustrated by kids
in select communities. The A to Z Series® is the first in
a series of books to be launched by BooksbyKids.com. In the
Our City from A to Z Series®, local students and hospitalized
children create a book that is sold in each community to raise
funds for area non-profit organizations. Each page of the book
describes a city landmark, characteristic or historical figure
beginning with each letter of the alphabet. The books are written
by local students and illustrated by hospitalized children. Each
book is hardback, full-color with a glossy cover wrap and reflects
the beauty of each city through the eyes of local children. A
minimum of 5,000 books are published and distributed per market.
