Some Very Kind Words from Penny Rader on The Kind Kids Organization and Our Efforts.

“Glenna Orr's children's books are inspirational and informatively written, with gorgeous illustrations that keep even the youngest children mesmerized. Children, as well as adults, love the historical and patriotic stories that are based on the memories of special Americans, our Armed Services Veterans!

As the gift shop manager in my family business, I am proud to carry these patriotic books and give 100% of the proceeds to Kind Kids, Inc. Glenna founded the nonprofit 501(c)3 fifteen years ago to support literacy and unite people of all ages. She is instrumental in passing down stories of generations of brave Americans who sacrificed for our country and know the value of our freedom.

All of her books are perfect to enjoy as a family, and, more importantly, to teach children about the honor and courage and sacrifices others have made for them. These are important lessons to pass down from generation to generation. Additionally, the historical information is invaluable!

Thanks to Glenna for supporting our youth and honoring our Veterans!” - Penny Rader, Brughs Mill Exxon and Country Store, Fincastle, VA


Brughs Mill Country Store, located in Fincastle, Virginia is a favorite place for myself and my family. For years when driving south to Western North Carolina to visit our family home, we don't miss an opportunity to stop at Brughs Mill Country Store to enjoy a home cooked meal and to browse and shop the beautiful store that is housed in this quaint location. Owner, Penny Rader and I have come to know one another. Penny asked that I display the books that I have written throughout the years, so that her patrons can enjoy them and in turn support my 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, Kind Kids Inc....  I am grateful for her devotion!  

Thank you Penny for these very kind words,
Glenna C. Orr (Reading Specialist & Director of The Kind Kids Organization)
