Donte Cargill
The Heart Helpers & Patricia Ann Cargill Charities is a heartwarming, beautifully written, rhythmic picture book that inspires children to discover the extraordinary power of kindness, compassion, and helping others.

Perfect for children ages 3–12, this uplifting story encourages empathy, friendship, courage, and community while reminding every child that their heart has the power to bring hope, spread joy, and change lives. Inspired by the mission of Patricia Ann Cargill Charities, this timeless story is more than a picture book—it's an invitation for young readers to become everyday heroes and create a ripple of kindness wherever they go. A treasured read for families, classrooms, libraries, and communities, The Heart Helpers reminds us all that every child has a heart... and every heart can help.
