- About Me and My Book:
- Wonderful Wigs is my first children's book, in a series of books that help parents discuss some of life's rare but difficult issues. They are helpful resources to empower and enable parents to talk to their children with confidence, if any of these issues arise.
Wonderful Wigs tells a story of Aisha, an eight year old girl, reliving her experience with cancer, and the loss of her hair. Her mother takes her to a wig store to help her find something to make her feel more comfortable with her hairloss. What does she find? She realizes wigs are not so bad, but more importantly, that she doesn't need one to be beautiful.
She talks about the feelings she had before, during and after treatment, and how she overcame them. It is a reassuring book that can help relieve some of the fears and questions that any child battling cancer, or a child that may have a loved one undergoing cancer treatment may have. Especially issues of hair loss, rejection, and self esteem. It is an effective tool that may help open the lines of communication between child and adult. The illustrations help to ease any discomfort you may have while trying to explain cancer to a child. It is a helpful and much needed resource and tool.
It's not only good for children battling cancer, but those who may have a loved one or friend battling cancer. It answers questions that some children are afraid to ask, and helps them to be more sensitive to others situations.
Now, also a Wonderful Wigs coloring and activity book.
10% of profits from the sale of this these books goes to Given Beauty an organization that gives women undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment beautiful quality wigs.
$1 from all corporate sponsorship goes to St Jude's.

I would like to connect with you there also. I am trying to make more friends and fans so that I can spread awareness for breast cancer during pregnancy. I was diagnosed Stage 3 in the 5th month of my pregnancy in May. My status updates on Facebook and LinkedIn are usually about my fight.

Scribblers’ Retreat is a non-profit organization established with the goal of reaching writers of all ages; to inspire and promote their hidden gifts and talents.
By involving the local community, authors, publishers, editors, journalists and all forms of the literary world, we are opening their minds and bringing hope where there was doubt.
Scribblers’ Retreat is not the typical classroom setting. It was designed to bring world-class authors, literature professors, editors, journalists, illustrators, photo journalists, proofreaders, publishers, publicists, screenplay writers, and website/graphic designers, etc. one-on-one with young and old alike. It is the opportunity of a lifetime for someone who has had a manuscript in a desk drawer for 40 years or who has an outstanding poem that simply must be read.
Scribblers’ Retreat Writers’ Conference
Where “can’t” is not in our vocabulary.
