Children's book author, J. Steven Spires, delivered three cases of his book, THE OAK TREE, to the St. Tammany Hospital Foundation today. These books were purchased by Traveling Tales to give to doctors and nurses who are on the frontline of this pandemic to take home and read with their children.

This book donation is part of a project called, "Story Connections" where we raise money to buy books to give to military moms and dads, as well as, doctors and nurses, to read to their children over Face Time, Skype, or Zoom platforms.
