Not a BadOur story
It started with one apple deciding to be good.
Edgar Buchanan, Columbus, Georgia
We are a small crew with a big belief. Edgar writes the stories, Rondal Scott drew the world, and the whole thing runs as a 501(c)(3) children's charity from right here in Columbus. The first paperback, Not a Bad Apple, came off the press in 2010. The beans, the bullies, the activity book, and Good Fruit Energy followed it.
When we are not making books, we are gathering people: gospel nights with the choir, and the Men's Empowerment Breakfast, where men who beat the odds tell kids and fathers how they did it.
Too many kids get called bad apples. We believe there is no such thing, only a village that has not embraced them yet.
The books are how we say it. The gatherings are how we live it.
