Mississippi Means Home
Let's Make an Impact Together
Welcome to Mississippi Mission! If you're here, the people of Mississippi hold a special place in your heart. Let's show it together!
​
Hello! I'm Kathy Smith, a former Mississippi teacher turned education consultant and children's book author. I love creating educational and inspirational books for children, and I'm proud to call Mississippi home.
​
Helping children become brilliant learners is my passion, and I would love your help in inspiring Mississippi's next generation. As you know, our state is the birthplace of greatness, and many of our children only need an inspirational spark to achieve phenomenal success.
​
Our state has made strides in education in recent years, and Mississippi is on the move. I want to strengthen this momentum by providing our children with literature that can inspire them for years to come.

Let's give 1 million inspirational books to Mississippi's children. You can help move our needle.

As an educator and children's book author, I love creating literature that engages and inspires children to reach their highest potential. I believe in the power of attitude and mindset, and my affirmation books instill confidence, pride, and a growth mindset in the youngest students. When you join Mississippi Mission, you can select the books of your choice; however, I have provided exclusive access for you to preview our crowd-favorites below.
I Can Do Hard Things
Discover the boundless power within every child's heart as "I Can Do Hard Things" embarks on a valuable journey of self-belief. This inspirational affirmation book for children ignites a spirit of courage, imagination, and resilience through delightful rhymes. From soaring through skies of possibility to creating the newest innovations, each page encourages young minds to embrace challenges with unwavering determination.

I Have a Dream: Success From A to Z
There is a dream in every child's heart that may seem beyond the stars. This collection of verses introduces the qualities children need to achieve their dreams. Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., it aims to keep his dream alive. From audacious to zealous, children learn positive mindsets for reaching goals with daily affirmations to build confidence. What happens when we finally grasp our dream? Read “I Have a Dream: Success From A to Z” to discover in a galaxy built for success.

The Gift That Keeps Giving
Each book you gift will include an autograph and a special message of inspiration from yours truly. School and district leaders will receive a formal announcement of your gift, and photographs to commemorate delivery will be taken and shared via school media outlets and on the Summa School's social media pages. We can plan the media coverage at your request to inform our communities of your generosity and devotion to Mississippi's children.
​
At only $10 per book (plus sales tax), this is a great opportunity to sew into a powerful future for Mississippi's next generation. I am also extending a very special invitation to co-author a children's book together so your words of inspiration can empower our youngest learners.
