The original With
Wings and a Halo
organization began back
in 2000 as a publication
company for a Children's
book series from author
Paul Scott Gilbertson.
It was in May of 2007,
that both Paul and his
wife Chris traveled to
New York City for a National
Author and
Publishers Convention
with thoughts of
reviving the Children's
book business.
While in New York they
visited "Ground Zero"
the site of 9/11.
Perhaps, it was the
overall tragedy of this
site and the sadness of
such a crisis in America that sparked the idea
for
With Wings and a Halo -
R.E.A.C.H. a Child.
It was after this brief
business trip to New
York that the idea for
this new non-profit
organization came to
them.
The idea of giving Children's Books to children in a crisis situation to help them cope with such a trauma, made a lot of sense! And, combine that with the over 1500 book publishing companies, authors, book stores and the like that I saw while in New York at the Book Expo of America, we should have no problem getting an inventory of Children's books to donate to children in a time of need!
