Newman Springs Publishing authors Donna & Jonna have completed their new book “The Aardvark and the Anthill”: a whimsical tale about an aardvark searching for a tasty treat. Donna and Jonna are twin sisters and best friends. They were born and raised in Montana and spent most of their careers as kindergarten teachers. They both received Elementary education degrees from MSU, and a master’s in creative arts and curriculum from Lesley University.

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, the sisters’ imaginative tale begins with the aardvark looking for something yummy for her tummy. 

“The aardvark has a grumbly tummy. // The ants have something yummy. // The ants are in their hill. // And share their treats, they will. // But…the ants won’t budge!” writes Donna & Jonna.

The story follows the aardvark as she dons numerous disguises and tries many different strategies to get her prize. She eventually learns that patience is the key. The story is brought to life with lovely, original illustrations that will have young readers laughing and singing along with their silly new hero. 

Readers who wish to experience this whimsical work can purchase “The Aardvark and the Anthill” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.

NEW YORK – January 18, 2023 – (Newswire.com)

Riley’s Way Foundation opened their Call For Kindness program today, calling on young changemakers (13-22 years old) from across the country to submit their ideas for projects rooted in kindness, empathy, and inclusivity. The Call For Kindness, now in its fifth year, offers youth the chance to participate in a dynamic Leadership Development Fellowship and win up to $3,000 to fund a project that strengthens their local, national, or global communities.

“It’s been incredibly inspiring to see the range of projects young people are leading in their schools and communities,” remarked Dr. Christine O’Connell, Executive Director of Riley’s Way Foundation. “Their passion, resolve, and leadership remind us that the hope for the future lies in great part with the ideas and actions of today’s youth.”

Young people (13-22) are invited to submit a new or existing idea, managing everything from prevailing social justice issues to pressing community-based needs. As many as 36 youth-led projects will receive awards. This year, a separate category will consider 10 projects focused on environmental justice, as the climate crisis and other environmental problems require critical attention. 

Additionally, Riley’s Way will continue to support a dance and arts category, the Yuriko Kikuchi Arigato Award, in honor of Yuriko, the pioneering dancer, and choreographer. 

“Becoming a Riley’s Way Call For Kindness Fellow has meant that even if things get hard, I’m not alone, and have all these resources if I need anything,” shared 2022 Call For Kindness Fellow Ryan Syed, founder of SAYA’s Project Loving Me.

Past projects have addressed the mental health and well-being of vulnerable communities, promoted education equity, bridged the tech industry’s demographic gap, supported those experiencing homelessness, combatted food insecurity, and much more. The complete list of Call For Kindness projects can be found here.

“The future belongs to a new generation of leaders, who with unshakable determination and a clear sense of purpose, will blaze a trail of innovation and progress to tackle society’s toughest challenges,” shared Ian Sandler, Co-Founder, Board Chair of Riley’s Way. “I am honored to be a part of their journey and will tirelessly work to empower them with the tools and resources they need to make their boldest visions a reality.”
