Author Ashley Seligson Donates Book Proceeds to Support Youth Volunteerism
Mountain Brook, AL July 15, 2025 | Author and community advocate Ashley Seligson is turning the success of her new childrens book into an engine for change. With the release of Little Hands, Big Hearts: Making a Difference Together, Seligson has pledged to donate 100 percent of the books proceeds to Little Hands Serving Hearts, a nonprofit organization she founded to encourage volunteerism among children and families.
The book is a mix of rhyming writing and colorful pictures. It tells the narrative of young kids who utilize their time, abilities, and wealth to spread kindness in their towns. It is for kids aged 3 to 8 and shows how modest, thoughtful activities, like bringing baked goods to a neighbor or organizing a toy drive for the community, can make a big difference.
Children are natural helpers. They just need opportunities and encouragement to act on their instincts to give, Seligson said. This book isnt just about reading a story; its about creating moments where families can step into service together.
Seligson's choice to give away all of the money shows how much she cares about teaching kids to give at a young age. Little Hands Serving Hearts is based in Mountain Brook, Alabama. They offer hands-on service projects for families and kids, like packing care kits for shelters and throwing birthday parties for kids in foster care.
Educators and parents alike have embraced Little Hands, Big Hearts for its dual purpose as an inspiring narrative and a springboard for real-world action. Teachers are using it as a classroom resource to introduce civic responsibility and empathy. Parents say the book has sparked meaningful family discussions and encouraged their children to brainstorm ways to help those around them.
Every child, no matter how young, has something valuable to give to their community, Seligson added. The goal is to help them see that their efforts, no matter how small, truly matter.
Little Hands, Big Hearts is available in hardcover, paperback, and digital formats through major retailers, including Amazon.
