Dewey Doo-it Children`s Book Series Entertains Youngsters
An award winning series of children`s books, Dewey Doo-it, brings a cast of colorful characters called Doo-its, including links, charities, and celebrities, to teach children to be helpful and kind. During holidays, parents are excited to find a creative avenue for teaching their children the importance of giving while at the same time, actually helping the cause raise money.
`We have been called Sesame Street for the soul,` says Green. `We give parents a fun and entertaining way to teach their children to be kind and compassionate. While kids are born with the potential for empathy and generosity, parents and teachers need help nurturing those positive traits.`Alan Green and Brahm Wenger have created a series of children?s books that deal with current issues of poverty, homelessness and hunger. `The books were born from an idea I got three years ago while reading an article about people who had started various charitable organizations,` said Green. `People like Larry Jones (who founded Feed the Children,) embraced the notion that one person can make a difference. Their stories inspired me and I thought that it might translate for kids and get them thinking about helping others instead of thinking only about themselves. Wouldn`t it be great if we could do something to raise a ton of money for charity?`
The grand plan was to create a children`s entertainment company to generate funds for charitable foundations and organizations. Alan, using his marketing talents, and Brahm, a musical composer for a roster of Disney films teamed up with Disney animator Jean Gilmore to create an entire cast of Muppet-like Doo-it characters that introduce children to the challenge of others misfortunes and find solutions through compassion and hard work.
