Stratford Rotary Club
The Stratford Rotary Club with Trumbull Rotary and bestselling Dr. Seuss author Tish Rabe, are creating a new children’s book that features a charming story that reflects the goals of the Four-Way Test, and includes information to encourage parents to join Rotary in their local communities.
Bright, beautiful illustrations will be provided by African artist, Moka Celess. The book will be written entirely in rhyme and available in time for Rotary’s Day of Service, April 2026.

THE GOAL
To raise $50,000 to fund the production, marketing, and printing of this delightful book, spreading Rotary’s values of kindness and friendship to children and families worldwide.
