“Oliver & Hope’s Good Deeds Day,” for children ages 3-8, is
a fun, inspiring read for both children and adults. In the duo’s
latest adventure, Oliver and Hope meet their friends to clean up
the damage left by a big storm. But as soon as they begin, a
mystery appears that eventually reveals true acts of kindness.
The fourth book in the Oliver & Hope™ series, “Oliver &
Hope’s Good Deeds Day” is being released in time for National
Random Acts of Kindness Day (Feb. 17) and will be featured at the
North American International Toy Fair Feb. 18-21 in New York
City.
In recognition of National Random Acts of Kindness Day, UHCCF is
making book donations at children’s hospitals, elementary schools
and community-based organizations in cities across the country,
including New York City, Minneapolis, Las Vegas, and several cities
throughout California.
All four books of the Mom’s Choice and Dr. Toy award-winning
Oliver & Hope series are available at Amazon through
UHCCF.org/shop for $16.95 each (hardcover) and $5.99
(paperback).
These beautifully illustrated and cleverly written stories are
inspired by the real-life journeys of the thousands of children
whom the books' proceeds support. Every purchase of “Oliver &
Hope's Good Deeds Day” – and the other books and toys from the
collection – will fund grants offered by UHCCF to help children
gain access to medical-related services.
“We’ve met and heard from families across the country who have
enjoyed the Oliver & Hope books’ messages about the importance
of friendship, compassion and resiliency. Families appreciate that
the books’ proceeds are used to fund child medical grants that help
thousands of children receive medical care,” said UHCCF President
Matt Peterson.
Since 2007, UHCCF has awarded over 13,000 grants valued at more
than $35 million to children and their families across the United
States. Families can receive up to $5,000 annually per child
($10,000 lifetime maximum per child), and do not need to have
insurance through UnitedHealthcare to be eligible.
More information about the Oliver & Hope books, including
free audio recordings of the books as well as fun activities and
downloads, can be found at Oliver & Hope’s Clubhouse at
