Founded by Genie Webb, Find the Light Books is rooted in a personal journey of resilience. Genie, a mother of two and accomplished children's book author, was inspired to start the organization after a life-changing hit-and-run accident that led her to deliver her son prematurely. Her recovery, combined with her passion for storytelling, became the foundation of Find the Light Books. Genie’s mission is to provide others with the tools to turn challenges into triumphs, fostering a supportive community of writers. Through her books and workshops, Genie emphasizes the importance of love, light, and magic as guiding principles in overcoming adversity.
Today, Find the Light Books offers a range of writing programs and publishes anthologies featuring the stories of participants, highlighting their journeys from hardship to hope. By partnering with schools and community organizations, we strive to close literacy gaps and provide inclusive spaces where everyone can share their story. Whether through in-person or virtual workshops, we are dedicated to helping every individual find their light.
