Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World, the new book launched by former President Bill Clinton, features Fredericka "Freddi" Zeiler's "A Kid’s Guide to Giving".
Young people can inspire us to give, believes Mr. Clinton. Here's a fragment from his book, 'Giving', confirming this belief: "Indeed, the best book I've come across on the subject was written by young person. A Kid’s Guide to Giving by Freddi Zeiler provides a good roadmap to giving for people of all ages. Zeiler published the book in 2006 with the support of By Kids For Kids, an organization devoted to releasing the innovative spirit within all children and helping them become good problem solvers."

www.bkfk.com Freddi Zeiler started giving away her spare change at fourteen, and over the years learned a lot about how to develop the discipline to save enough for giving, as well as how to volunteer time, donate goods, and organize charity events, recounts Mr. Clinton in his book.
Three major issues are analyzed in the book: Why you should give, how to choose a cause, and how to contribute money, time or things. Freddi herself chose more than 101 charities to be included in the book.
President Clinton likes to give "A Kid’s Guide to Giving" to young people during the holidays. He said: "Last Christmas, Hillary and I gave copies of Zeiler's book to our two nephews, ages twelve and thirteen. We told them we'd send them a certain amount of money each month if they would agree to give 25 percent of it to charitable causes of their choice and write or call us each month with an account of what they supported and why; then we’d send the next installment. They both eagerly accepted the offer and are taking their responsibility seriously. So far, they've given money to the American Heart Association and Animal Rescue."
"I'm incredibly honored not only that President Clinton included me in his book, but that he used it as a resource to inspire his own nephews. The most rewarding part of having written and published Kid's Guide is hearing that I've inspired others to give back," said Freddi Zeiler.
Fredericka Zeiler was born in London, England on January 31, 1985 to Sarah and Peter Zeiler. Freddi recently graduated from the University of California, Berkley, where she majored in Art History. In August, Freddi started her own business- a mail house that puts together mailings for non-profits- handling everything from writing, graphic design, printing and shipping.

Father of two daughters and two sons, Dudum fearlessly approaches the dilemmas teenage girls are facing nowadays. Although it presents highly sensitive issues and a colorful and lovely cover, the book makes a strong statement in its corner, being straight forward and to the point in answering clearly to all teenage girls dilemmas and issues.
