Our new Children's Book on Hope, Goodnight MoonBright, is now available on Amazon! It is a great book for children during this time of fear and uncertainty. I...t includes the link and sheet music to Karianne Johansen's Camp HOPE Goodnight Song that you can learn and then teach your children or grandchildren to sing every night at bedtime! Around the world as the MoonBright travels, animals answer the question from continent to continent that we should all be asking each other, "Where did you see hope today?" All Alliance proceeds from sales of the book go to Camp HOPE America, our program for children impacted by domestic violence. #ScienceofCOVID19 #ScienceofHOPE #hoperisingscience See more
