Betta Tugive

Betta Tugive is the pen name of the fun-loving writing and editing team at Generous Family. Through whimsical, rhyming stories for kids ages 2-12, Betta blends laugh-out-loud humor with foundational faith-based values and character education. With the help of Jasper G the Generosity Giraffe and his great group of pals, she asks questions like:

Are you a big-hearted giver or a me-thinker who struggles with being selfish?

Is your thinker full of stinkin’ thinkin’? Or do generous, happy thoughts give your mean, cranky thoughts the boot?

Do you know how to be a good pal? Do you shut others out, or treat your buddies with kindness and empathy?

Each of Betta’s heartfelt children’s books invites young readers to live a life packed chock-full with big-hearted giving and open-arms friendship. Join Jasper G on an amazing journey of learning about The 7 Ways of Living Generously, being a faithful friend, and building character traits like resilience, honesty, and courage.

Betta loves hearing from young readers about how they’re being generous to those around them — it makes her want to cheer! Hip! Hip! Hooray!

With over 30 titles available, Betta can’t wait to see big-hearted givers pop up all over the world. In the words of her buddy Jasper G, “Let’s get giving!”
