If you read my blog post last fall, you may know that...
Children go hungry in America every day, particularly in rural communities, where statistics show food insecurity to be as high as 25%. This means up to one in four children in rural communities lacks nutritionally adequate food or the ability to acquire it on a daily basis. In one of the wealthiest countries in the world, this appalling statistic is unacceptable.
To raise awareness, provide information, and help connect those suffering with much-needed resources, I wrote and illustrated a short graphic novel about a boy named Hugo in a rural area of southwest America who just wants to help his class win the school kickball tournament. However, Hugo's hunger ends up getting in the way of this and his everyday life. Find out how he tackles this problem in "Hungry: a graphic novel fighting childhood food insecurity."
To help fight childhood hunger further, I have decided to donate 50% of all profits from the sale of this book to charitable organizations like "No Kid Hungry." Please help get the word out by sharing this book and this post with anyone and everyone. Getting it into elementary school libraries would be especially helpful so those children who suffer have easier access to the information they may need to get through.
