Put a Story of Compassion Into a Child’s Hands
The Bug & Bido Community Book Project helps children understand memory loss, dementia, and compassion—one story at a time.
Every child deserves a way to understand difficult things.
When someone we love begins experiencing memory loss or dementia, children may not understand what is happening. The Adventures of Bug & Bido: A Tail of Love & Laughter gives families, educators, and caregivers a gentle way to begin those conversations.
Through community sponsorships, books are placed directly with children and organizations that can benefit from them.

Your Sponsorship Creates More Than a Book
It creates an opportunity for a child to ask a question. It gives a parent a way to start a difficult conversation. It gives an educator a resource. It reminds a family that they're not alone.
Your sponsorship can help:
Place books with schools and educators
Support counseling and mental-health programs
Provide resources to caregiver organizations
Place books in libraries
Reach families navigating memory loss and dementia
Create meaningful community impact around children's emotional well-being
One Story. Eleven Journeys. A Bigger Conversation.
Bug & Bido is envisioned as an 11-book children's series, with each story exploring a different aspect of emotional and mental well-being through a dog inspired by one of the beloved dogs in Kimberlee's life.
Each book offers children another opportunity to recognize emotions, develop empathy, and talk about experiences that can sometimes be difficult to explain.
The Community Book Project is helping build that vision—one story and one child at a time.
