Books with a handwritten hello.
Sponsor a well-loved book for a kid who needs one. You write the message, I handwrite it on a card, and the book goes straight to their door.
Dear Maya,
This was my favorite book when I was your age. I hope it makes you laugh too!
– A friend who believes in you

This month
Your privacy
We only ask for a first name, age, interests, and mailing address.
Sponsors never see your address or your child’s full name.
Your address is deleted after delivery.
Questions
Yes. Every book is gently used, checked for good condition, and cleaned before it goes out.
To protect families, sponsors and kids stay anonymous. If a family wants to say thank you, I pass it along using first names only.
No. Sunny Side Scribbles is a small business, not a registered charity.
Every book ships with tracking. If one goes missing, I send a replacement with a new card.
Most books are matched within [2 weeks] and arrive about a week after they ship.
