The Ellinwood School/Community Library recently received a special donation of Bluey books in memory of Mia Jade Roth, a young girl remembered for her joyful spirit and her love of the popular Australian cartoon pup.

The books were given by the Roth family, Mia’s parents and sister Rory as a way to share the laughter and lessons that Bluey brought to Mia’s life with other children in the community.

A note inside each book reads:

“You and your love for Bluey will never be forgotten. We love and miss you, Mia Jade. — Mom, Dad & Rory.”

These books will help spread the same joy Mia found in reading and remind young readers of the power of love, family, and imagination. The library is honored to help keep her memory alive through stories that continue to bring smiles to children’s faces.
