Children's author donates 100% of book sales to support Sandy Hook Families

Jan. 7, 2013 - PRLog -- (Newport Beach, CA) When Christine Karol Roberts, intellectual property lawyer and children's book author, heard of the recent tragic elementary school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, she wanted to do something to help.

Roberts explains, "I have been very fortunate over the years and am so saddened by the loss of the beautiful children in Newtown, Connecticut; I wanted to give back in some small way to their community and sending them 100% of the proceeds of my book sales through February 14, 2013 seemed like a natural. Since law is my primary business endeavor, my children's books were written out of love and the book sale revenue is not really of great import to me. If it can help their community it will mean so much more to me."

“The Jewel Collar” is the story of a Maltese dog, Aristotle, who moves from the family beach house to a new home shortly before Christmas so his Mommy, an attorney, can be closer to the Courthouse and train station. Ari is very sad, missing his garden friends. Ari decides to share the jewels on his Jewel Collar with new friends in the Floral Park garden. The lesson learned is you can make new friends in a new neighborhood without giving a gift and that sharing is the true spirit of friendship and Christmas. Ages 4-8.

“Hannah the Hummingbird” is a children's picture book about Hannah, a member of the Garden Friends Club and her two babies, Hayley and Harry. Hannah builds her nest in Ari's garden, surrounded by the birds, animals and members of the Garden Friends Club. It is a charming story detailing the adventures of Hannah and her baby hummingbirds from hatch to first flight. Ages 4-8.
