About the Author
Elizabeth Truong lives in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida with her husband and kids. She is inspired to save the world by her mother, Lien. Lien is an immigrant and a single mom who put eight kids through college. After Lien retired, she dedicated herself to help people less fortunate. Lien tirelessly finds ways to raise money and has been giving every penny away to hospitals, orphanages and other organizations. Elizabeth hopes to follow in her mom’s foot steps to make a difference.
“Growing up, as immigrants from Vietnam, my family had nothing. I can still remember our excitement when we received our first bag of used clothes from the Salvation Army. I was overwhelmed with joy. I want to pay it forward by encouraging kids and parents to have fun while helping others.”
Elizabeth grew up in Boston and went to UMASS Amherst for her BS and was a recipient of a full scholarship at Babson College for her MBA. She is currently a Chief Investment Officer of a $1 billion privately held multi-family investment group. She is also a sustainer with the Junior League of the Palm Beaches and is a proud mentor in the mentoring program for Children’s Home Society of Florida.
The Sara & Geoffrey idea came to Elizabeth when she went shopping with her daughter for a Halloween costume. Her daughter was 3 yrs old at the time. She saw a Super Girl outfit and immediately only wanted that one. Once home, her daughter was so excited. She put on the outfit and jumped around saying “I want to go save the world, mommy! Come on, let’s go.” She was insistent on going outside to knock on everyone’s door to see what she could do to help them. She had never seen a superman show before yet somewhere and somehow she wanted to go save the world. Elizabeth’s son is just as enthusiastic like other kids his age. All he wants to do is wear his cape and run around with special powers.
About the Illustrator
Korey Scott is an illustrator who specializes in children’s books, educational material, and funny characters.
His illustration style is perfect for capturing the attention of children and adults. Korey is proud to say that his illustrations and children’s books not only are fun to look at, but they provide a beneficial resource to a child’s education. Children love the playful details and silly characters while adults enjoy how the illustrations encourage children to read, learn, and have fun.
His work has won awards such as “Best Children’s Book” at the 2007 North Texas Book Festival and the Golden Spur Honor Award from the Texas State Reading Association (TSRA) 2005. Teachers also enjoy using his material for class projects.
When he is not drawing (and many times when he is) you can find him spending time with his wife Kelly, poking fun at his two dogs, trying to make people laugh, and speaking Spanish.

Jaebum Fangirl had the opportunity to review the giveaway item: Donate Clothes Book by Elizabeth Truong
Book Summary: Sara & Geoffrey meet kids around the world and learn that some kids are less fortunate and need clothes. Sara & Geoffrey immediately come to the rescue as they rally friends and family to help gather used clothes and donate them to others.
Glossy soft cover, 8.25 X 11, 25 pages
ISBN: 978-0-9833161-2-1
Additional quantities, just $9.95 per book!
My Review: Now that I have a daughter, I have a whole new perspective on life. I have always cared about donating clothes, and I have been donating clothes my whole life, but I feel more personal and motivated in helping other children around the world after the birth of my daughter. I hope with this book, my daughter will grow to feel the same way. Not everyone is fortunate to have warm clothes to wear and this is something that everybody should strive to resolve.
While my daughter is too young to understand this just yet (she is just a baby!), I read this to my little sister who is the perfect age to begin to make changes in the world in her own way.
My sister loved this book, especially the character Sara. In the words of my sister, “She is so cool!” I agree. Sara & Geoffrey are great role models that kids can relate to. They wear these awesome caps that makes them look like superheroes. And they are superheroes! They help out the world, one clothes at a time.
For me, I really loved the message in the book, both in writing and in illustration. Firstly, the writing in fantastically written for children. The message is simple yet also important. Helping the world by donating your clothes. After reading the book, my sister immediately went into her closet and asked our mother if she could donate some of her clothes. My mother and I were both touched. Secondly, the illustration really made me fall in love with the book. I am Asian-American, and growing up in America, I never really found characters in children books that looked like me. I absolutely love that this book has children of all backgrounds.
My little sister adores this fun and important book. I think the children in your life will too!

The lovely folks at Sweet Peaches Bedding allowed me to review the Soho Girls Bedding and Blue Dragonfly Shower Curtain!
Soho Girls Bedding
Product Description: This ultra modern girl bedding set combines rich color blocks in a geometric design for a contemporary look. This collection uses the stylish colors of Pink, Chocolate Brown and Camel. The design uses super soft micro suede fabrics that are machine washable for easy care.
Blue Dragonfly Shower Curtain
Product Description: Blue Dragonfly print, 100% Cotton, 72in. x 72in., Machine washable. Shower Hooks and Liners Not Included.
Soho Girls Bedding has everything you need to make your bed! The twin set includes: comforter, pillow sham, skirt, and valance.
Straight off the bat, I was immediately taken by the quality. The softness of the comforter took me by surprise. For a while, I have been sleeping on cheap polyester bed sheets and comforter from Walmart, so I was not accustomed to the great quality of the Soho Girls Bedding. First impressions: Great quality and cute chic design.
My favorite part, even after preparing the bedding on my little sister’s bed, is the comforter. A lot of comforters are either too thick or too thin. This one that came with the Soho Girls Bedding is perfect. Winter hasn’t been too harsh around my area, but we have been getting a lot of chilly nights. This comforter can keep her warm without any additional blankets over it. Also, since the comforter is not too thick, she could use this comforter in the warmer seasons as well. No need to push the comforter on the edge of the bed anymore!
The rest of the bedding is fantastic as well. The quality of every part of this bedding is superb. The pillow sham (pictured above) can make even insomniac patient have a good night rest! My little sister loved it. The skirt and valance complimented very well. Overall, the entire Soho Girls Bedding is just the perfect bedding for any girl. My little sister gave it four stars!
Blue Dragonfly Shower Curtain is essential for any one who wants to add a little cuteness to their bathtub. I have been looking for a simple cute shower curtain for a long time. Unfortunately, in retail stores, many shower curtains are overly garish with cartoon and zebra prints. This may be your cup of tea, but it is not mine. I like to keep my bathroom simple and clean. The Blue Dragonfly Shower Curtain has just the amount of color to contrast with the white fixtures and walls, but simple enough to not overshadow the rest of the room. The quality is also great. It is thick and durable enough to weather through for many years. Additionally, no one would be able to see through when you are taking a shower. And probably the best aspect of this shower curtain: Machine Washable!

Pillow Pets’s mission is simple: To bring smiles to faces of all ages by offering friendship, love and loyalty as well providing a comfy, snuggly place to rest your head at night!
Since 2003, Pillow Pets™ plush folding stuffed animals have been bringing smiles to the faces of all ages. Pillow Pets plush folding stuffed animals add true function to that warm and wonderful feeling by combining the security of a stuffed animal with the functionality of a pillow. Made of high quality, super soft chenille, Pillow Pets plush folding stuffed animals make the most precious snuggle pal for you or your loved one.
An ideal naptime companion – not to mention a comforting partner on road trips or airplane rides – Pillow Pets plush folding stuffed animals are anything but just another stuffed animal. Extremely versatile, these unique creations have a strap that closes underneath to transform them into friendly pets. Simply open the strap and the pet becomes a pillow!
The lovely folks at Pillow Pets generously gave Jaebum Fangirl the opportunity to review the giveaway item: Fluffy Bunny
Pillow Pets are not just for kids. As one of many adult fans of these adorable products, I am unashamed to say that I go to bed hugging onto several Pillow Pets. The super-soft chenille on these plush folding stuffed animals just melts on your skin; I always take a moment after taking the Pillow Pet out of the mailbox to just feel the plush through my fingers because it is so soft. I am not exaggerating when I say this is the softest stuffed animal out there!
Kids adore Pillow Pets. My little sister is a huge fan of everything Pillow Pets has to offer. That is why she was just in glee when she saw the Fluffy Bunny. If you are like me, you do not want to give little kids chocolate this Easter. My sister has already eaten enough last Halloween. So instead, I gave her this Pillow Pet for Easter! She is super cute carrying her purple companion around. Dragging the bunny by the soft, droopy ears, she takes her Fluffy Bunny everywhere. After a long day of playing, she un-velcro its belly and it becomes her pillow!
This is a wonderful and memorable present you could give to your child this Easter. Heck, why not get one for yourself too! You are never too old to snuggle with a Pillow Pet!
