BOOK VALUE



Colorful Casts and Courage is a heartwarming children’s book that encourages resilience, self-acceptance, and kindness. Through the eyes of Laney, a young girl who wears leg casts, readers learn that challenges—whether big or small—don’t define who we are. With playful rhymes and an uplifting message, the story reassures children that feeling uncomfortable is okay and that perseverance, kindness, and support from others can help us through tough times. This inspiring book fosters inclusivity and reminds readers that everyone is special in their own way. Perfect for children facing medical challenges, as well as those learning to understand and support friends with differences, My Not So Comfy Casts is a celebration of strength, compassion, and the beauty of being uniquely you.

A Mothers Love


For my daughter, Alaina Lee
This book holds a special place in my heart because it was written just for you. Alaina lives with a rare condition called Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy (EDMD), which affects her muscles and joints, making everyday things a little harder. But no matter what challenges come her way, I will always be by her side.
This story is a reminder that love, support, and courage can shine through anything. I hope it inspires others to stand strong for the ones they love, just like I will always do for you.
With love,
Mommy

Through my writing, I encourage young readers to see the beauty in themselves and others, fostering kindness, compassion, and acceptance. My story showcases the resilience and courage children show in the face of challenges, reinforcing that a health condition does not define who they are, it adds to the resilience, determination, and kindness that make them extraordinary. My book serves as a heartfelt reminder that love, perseverance, and self-belief can overcome even the toughest obstacles.

EDMD
EDMD (Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy) is a rare genetic condition that affects the muscles and heart. It causes muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and heart problems over time. People with EDMD may need physical therapy, braces, or other supports to help with movement, but with care and determination, they can still live full and meaningful lives. 💙
