Jessica D. Adams writes children's books about The Underground Toy Society that aim to teach children to love and appreciate what they have, think of others, and hopefully clean their rooms. Jessica's two daughters are the inspiration for the books, as well as co-illustrators for many of the books. Jessica also wrote short time travel chapter books, Meeting Grandmom and Back to Grandmom, which are a great stories for kids as well as adults to remember or talk about lost loved ones and family history.
Jessica has visions of The Underground Toy Society traveling around the world, with many books being created to help teach children to clean their rooms, appreciate what they have, and think of those who may not have as much. While the goals of the books are to help kids want to clean their rooms, appreciate what they have, and think of others, there are no guarantees that kids will learn these lessons. These books are for entertainment purposes and individual results may vary. Parents can visit our website for great parenting tips and tricks to help get their kids to clean their rooms!

Annual Toy Drive: The Underground Toy Society is a sweet book that tells us about teamwork, cooperation, and helping others to improve a situation for the common good, all this through a friendly group of toys that do everything they can to help others. Jessica D. Adams tells us the story of The Underground Toy Society which is dedicated to finding new homes for toys. But it's hard to find homes for used toys. One option to help toys is with a donation box, but the problem is that the box is only for new toys. And is here where creativity is born to find a solution. This book is a good way to teach children respect not only for their toys but for the condition of all things. It’s a good method for understanding what it means to give new life to any object.
I liked the way that Jessica D. Adams expresses various social values in a story that is easy to understand and that children can reflect on and learn to talk about. She shows us helping without expecting anything in return, teamwork, solidarity between a good united group, appreciating the use of things, kindness, and much more. Annual Toy Drive: The Underground Toy Society has simple but clear images that help visualize the interaction between the characters. This story gives a very pleasant reading experience and opens the possibility of talking with children about many important topics, giving them very useful lessons for life. The positivity that Jessica D. Adams shares in her book is something to be admired and is perfect to share.
