About the Author
Recognized throughout high school for her passion for community service, 14-year-old Frederika Sarah Zeiler wanted to make it easier for other children to give their time, money, and effort. Her commitment to researching and compiling charity information has resulted in the publication of A KID'S GUIDE TO GIVING. Now in college (2006) Freddi is pursuing a career in photo-journalism and one day hopes to work for an organization like National Geographic, where she will be able to combine her love of science and animals with her passion for photography, travel, and education of the public in global issues.
Reviews
Grade 7 Up—In this inspiring and motivating book, Zeiler challenges teens to make a difference by contributing to charitable causes. Her enthusiastic, personal appeal offers advice on selecting a charity and deciding whether to donate money, useful items, or time. No matter how grand or small the offering, the author stresses the intrinsic and tangible rewards of giving. Sidebars present tips on getting started, checklists for fundraising, positive quotes from teen volunteers, and blurbs on historical nonprofit successes like the March of Dimes. A helpful and lengthy annotated directory of well-established charities is arranged by category ("People," "Animals," and "The Environment") and ranges from Adopt-a-Minefield to the Wilderness Society. Each entry explains the organization's mission, describes how donations are used and monies spent, presents pertinent facts, and provides contact information. This book meshes well with the step-by-step guidelines in Barbara Lewis's The Kid's Guide to Service Projects (Free Spirit, 2004) and the testimonials of Prudential Award teen volunteers in Susan K. Perry's Catch the Spirit (Watts, 2000). The increasing school emphasis on community service and global awareness makes Zeiler's title a valuable, consciousness-raising resource.—Gerry Larson, Durham School of the Arts, NC
