A passionate literacy advocate, I was alarmed by the literacy statistic among the deaf, and now I’ve begun raising support for education for deaf children. Upon the release of my Danny the Dragon DREAMS, the proceeds of my Danny the Dragon DVD, which features a signed reading of the book for deaf children, will be donated to the local deaf children’s school, Blossom’s Montessori School for the Deaf in Clearwater, Florida. I’m very happy that I’m able to do something to improve deaf education!

Rock on, Tina!!!
I have checked out this school’s web page and it seems that you’re doing a great service by supporting it.
I have the Danny the Dragon signed DVD and it’s amazing and I just donated a couple to my daughter’s school. Thanks!
Thanks so much for your donations to the Blossom Montessori School for the Deaf. They are very much appreciated.
I hope other children’s authors follow your example. This is very inspiring to hear.
Good for you, Tina! We should hope author offers become as active as you are in promoting children’s literacy across all demographics

That’s great you’re supporting the hearing impaired community. Literacy is literacy no matter the language!
Not only are the proceed donations helpful, but just the fact that you came out with a DVD with a signed version of your book! That is a cutting-edge product. Hope to see other authors follow in your footsteps!
So glad to see the good works you do on behalf of children’s literacy.
Thanks, Tina. This is really lovely to hear. It’s nice to know that our money is going to some great causes.
