Welcome to the website honoring Cameron Averitt Bobbitt. 
Cameron was an amazing little girl who died on January 19, 2006. She was truly one of the most precious people to ever walk this earth. As her parents, we will never be able to express the loss we feel now that Cameron is gone.
Even though Cameron was only five years old when she died, she loved to read books and share them with others. In December 2006, the family and friends of Cameron started a book club in her honor. This book club was inspired by her grandmother, who is a reading specialist.
We initially received over 200 books just by word of mouth. On the one year anniversary of Cameron’s death, we personally donated many of these books to schools, hospitals, libraries, and medical clinics. Many people from places that received books collected new books and sent them to us. This has allowed us to continue to provide books for children who otherwise might not have them. It is our hope that in receiving these books, children will share in the legacy of the joy of reading the way that Cameron did.
If you would like to help continue the book club, you are welcome to participate. Please purchase a book appropriate for a child of any age and send it directly to Cameron’s parents, Susan Averitt and Derrick Bobbitt.
If you or someone you know needs children’s books, please let us know. We would love to provide books to schools, clinics, churches, or other organizations that involve children. Reading with children is a way to help them learn to read, discover lessons about life, and feel loved.
Thank you so much for your interest in the book club. Enjoy your reading!
Sincerely,
Susan and Derrick Bobbitt
Cameron was a sweet little girl. She was so adorable, I might add. So, about the Website. We need you to give us books. We give them to children who need books. And they don’t have anything else. We want them to live. This is Cameron’s younger sister, Kennedy. See ya!

Hi Kennedy,
You did a good job posting for the website. I think it’s very good that your family gives books to people who don’t have any. I bet they are so happy when they get the books. Keep up the good work. I’ll see you soon.
Love,
Aunt Catherine

Dear Kennedy,
Thank you for writing for the website. You are a great writer!
I know how much you loved Cameron and how much you miss her. She was your big sister, even though you were the same size! You wanted to play what she played and drink the same kind of juice she drank.
We all have to learn to live without her, and you are doing a good job. Sometimes it’s hard, but we can do it together!
Love,
Grann-ma
