Why We Give Back
Toy donation for the Play Comforts Program
Peaceable Kingdom Press is committed to supporting charitable causes that improve the lives of children. We participate with in-kind donations, monetary support, and personal involvement in local and national organizations that share the goal of enhancing the welfare of children, especially with regards to literacy, the arts, and children’s health.
We believe that literacy, creativity, and good health are vital to the growth of the whole child. Access to books, art, music, dance, and a safe and healthy environment to explore each will make the lives of children richer by inspiring their senses, their imaginations, and their dreams.
