Does Your Town Toot?
nce upon a time a children's story was created showcasing your community. The vivid pictures, the entertaining story, and the lovable characters all combined to create the next chapter in your community's life.
Our children's books introduce the world to your community. We will be in your neighborhood soon and would love the opportunity to help you toot. Let's tell the story together of why your community is a great place to visit and live.
It's a Toot-Toot (excuse us, a Win-Win) for your town.
Our sales team looks forward to working with you. We will contact you to request an appointment and share more information.

...and the community lived happily ever after.
Who we are- The Yuma Story...
Sparks at Work is an Arizona based company. The owner of Sparks at Work and Toot Your Town, Susan Dillon Sternitzke, is a board member of K.I.D.S. CuddleKit Closet, Inc. This non-profit organization in Yuma reaches out to kids in need of kindness. Susan suggested a unique idea to fund their programs during these economically challenged times. The board and staff wrote a children's book about their community and introduced their beloved character, Fuddle the Firefly. The book was illustrated by the incredibly talented Austin Light, based in Charlotte, NC. Austin's website: austinlight.wordpress.com
Within 2 weeks, they had sold all their sponsorships and on June 4th, 10,000 "Fuddle Learns to Cuddle" books arrived. The book was well received by the sponsors, the City of Yuma, the Yuma Visitors Bureau, the press, and the public.
 Yuma has shown us the light of how we can introduce other communities to a similar project, and for that we intend to continue supporting them. We will donate a percentage of our revenues to K.I.D.S. CuddleKit Closet, Inc. Please visit www.cuddlekit.org for more information about Fuddle and this great organization.
Regional/National Sponsors
We have opportunities for regional or national sponsors to participate in every book we produce for a destination. We will be happy to share these ideas with you.
