Thank you Kendal Rautzhan for your wonderful review for How to Change the World in 12 Easy Steps!

“How to Change the World in 12 Easy Steps: Inspired by the Life Lessons of Eva Mozes Kor” by Peggy Porter Tierney, illustrations by Marie Letourneau, Tanglewood, 2021, 32 pages, $15.99 hardcover

Read aloud: age 4 – 8.
Read yourself: age 6 – 8.

This seemingly simple book is actually a powerful guide for children on twelve easy ways they can make a powerful impact to change the world. From accepting others who are different from you, picking up a piece of trash, helping another person without being asked, smiling at a stranger, including someone who has been left out, and several other acts of kindness, this book is a real gem.

Charming illustrations with a racially diverse cast is perfectly paired with the twelve life-changing lessons, making How to Change the World in 12 Easy Steps an important, valuable book for young and old alike."

If you’re not comfortable purchasing products via overseas Amazon links, you can also send $ via Venmo directly to Bess Nairn -Nairn to make those purchases for you. Be sure to include your email address, so she can send you a receipt.

Lastly, if you’d prefer just to gather money from friends and family, and send a wire transfer directly to the Indiana group’s people in Ukraine, organizer Bess Nairn is working with a friend in Ukraine, Agnes, who has a bank account that accepts USD transfers. If you want to email Bess Nairn in Indiana, she can provide you with the info needed to do that as well:
