KIDS ENDING HUNGER: What Can We Do?...

KIDS ENDING HUNGER: What Can We Do? by Tracy Apple Howard with Sage Howard (Andrews & McMeel: $9.95, illustrated, paperback original). The appalling images of starvation in Somalia underscore the grim statistic that 40,000 children die of hunger and hunger-related diseases every day. American kids who want to help the skeletal infants they see on television will find more than four dozen famine-relief projects in this compassionate guide. The authors interweave facts about world hunger with stories of children in Africa, Asia and the United States who must struggle to get enough to eat; they explain how teen-agers and even elementary-school children can organize fund-raising events that range from selling UNICEF cards to “hold the hamburger” lunches.
