Compassion Series in the Media

Over the past 30+ years, Tim Huff’s work and social justice endeavours have been profiled by major print, television and radio media. Likewise, since the release of his first children’s book in 2006, which would form the foundation of The Compassion Series, Tim’s books have been reviewed by media outlets across the country. Today, The Compassion Series has evolved into an interactive social justice program, and we are happy to share here contemporary media coverage reflective of that.
