Give a Book. Open a World.

This giving season, put a story in a child's hands. From Thanksgiving through Giving Tuesday (December 1) and on to December 31, your year-end gift helps children learn, connect and grow.

Two New Books. Real Skills. Big Adventures.

This fall, Giz Kids Foundation is launching two new books starring Max:

• Max 10.0 and the Big Wave! (Digital Citizenship): Max gets his first tablet and learns to use technology wisely, kindly and safely.

• Max's Money Quest! (Financial Literacy): Max saves coin by coin for a new podcast microphone and discovers goals, saving and smart choices.

Each book is a 13-chapter adventure for ages 6–11, written with experts in education and finance. Your gift puts these books into the hands of children in Title I schools across Palm Beach County, delivered with a classroom read-aloud.

Meet Max: A New Kind of Hero

Max is a little scattered, sometimes unsure of himself, and not afraid to ask for help. That's exactly why kids love him. Alongside Gizmo and the Woof Chat Kids, Max models kindness, resilience and smart thinking in ways children truly connect with. When kids see themselves in our characters, they begin to see what they can become. These are books kids keep, read again and share at home.

Who We Are

Giz Kids Foundation, Inc. is a Palm Beach Gardens-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit, established in 2016. Through the magic of puppetry, storytelling and play, we give every child the skills, confidence and imagination they need to thrive in a fast-changing digital world, no matter their background or zip code. In 2025, 77¢ of every dollar went to programs.

We're proud to work alongside Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, Palm Beach County School District, Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County, Speak Up For Kids Palm Beach County, Roots & Wings and Myla's Beleaf.
