About us
Welcome to FabulousFables.com. This is indeed the place where we read to change the world. The intent of this website is to improve the lives of children who have had the privilege of being children stripped away from them. I also contribute to other worthy causes. I ask you for $10 a year to join the club and nothing else except that you read the stories as often as you wish.
Half your membership fee goes to help improve the lives of children, and that is how we change the world.
FabulousFables.com offers you these stories: The Hunter, The Horse, The Magnificent Horse, The Rooster, The Dog, The Great Horned Owl, The Fearsome Snowman, Gilbert the Dancing Hummingbird, Turtle and Jackrabbit and Rufus the Snot-Nosed Reindeer. While most stories on this website are fables, that is not all I write.
Club philosophy
 I want to give you a safe and positive place to read and to be entertained. This website is growing and evolving, but I promise to keep it simple and affordable. I plan to expand the stories to include slide shows, audio and multiple language options. That is what the other $5 of your membership fee will do. It will be used to improve this website. The club is limited only by our imaginations. Join the adventure.
Can we really change the world?
There are those, called naysayers, who say, "Ha, you can't change the world. That is too big a job."
To them, I say, "Maybe acting alone I can't change the world, but together we are a powerful force, and we will change the world."
We can make a difference only if we do it together. Our success depends on our membership numbers. Tell your friends, your brothers and sisters, your parents, everyone, about FabulousFables.com. Encourage them to join. Raise money for your non-profit organization, your school. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something. At FabulousFables.com, I believe in you and your ability to succeed in whatever you do. Help me change the world. I need you.
Go to the Change the world page, where I lay out my vision. Even if you don't join the club, go there. See what you can do to help. Tell your friends about child slavery, about the kids who are being abused and deprived of their childhood. Tell them about the children who can be saved if only they have food.
Child Slavery
It is estimated that 8.4 million children around the world are held in some sort of servitude. Many of these slaves are very young. In some cases, their families are so poor and uneducated that they feel they have no choice but to sell their children to heartless people who deprive these unfortunate kids of their right to be children, to play, to be loved. With a little help, sometimes for as little as one goat, those children can stay home and attend school.
FabulousFables.com wants all children to play. All children should have the opportunity that most of us have, to run, to jump, to laugh, to shout, to have friends.
Too many children in this world are dying of starvation, about 5 million a year. Let's save as many children and their families as we can. Let's help them survive. There is horrible suffering occurring in the world right now.
Other organizations
There are other charities that need our help right here in the United States. I contribute to other organizations as well. For example, I gave a contribution to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure and National Philanthropic Trust, to help fund
important breast cancer research, education, screening, and treatment. I donated to help the people of Haiti who are suffering now.
It is our duty on this earth to help others. We follow the Golden Rule. Join us.
Biography
My name is David Madrid.
I write and draw for FabulousFables.com. I have been a journalist for 20 years. I also work for The Arizona Republic/azcentral.com in Phoenix, Arizona.
I have been a children book aficionado since the age of 2, when I first remember my mother introducing me to the wonderful world of books. My wife and muse, Jacque, suggested I make these stories available to you.
Stories are my passion. Telling them is what I do best. My job is to write and draw for this website. I research and find the most deserving non-profit entities we support with our donations.
Artist
FabulousFables.com is happy to introduce Vincent Rogers, who has begun illustrating for the website. He began in August 2009 with the black-and-white art for The Magnificent Horse, and we look forward to presenting you with more of his work. I will let Vincent tell you about himself:
"My name is Vincent, and I’m 18 years old. I try to fulfill the whole artist
thing as much as possible. I draw, paint, sketch, sculpt, doodle, write, build,
I even play the guitar and ukulele. Currently I’m going to college to become an
art teacher (art professor later on). But being an illustrator has always been
one of the top art-related occupations that I’ve wanted to do. Since
the K through 12 public school scene, I’ve tried to find the label that
fit me. And only a month or so before graduating I realized that I’ve always
been an artist."
FabulousFables.com L.L.C. is dedicated to contributing to the greater good.
