NEW RELEASE!
ISBN#1448628512 / 9781448628513
Pinky has a point to prove. She wants to show the world that girls are just as brave and smart as boys. Join Pinky in the ring as she serves up a one two punch and takes them down for the count in this humorous tale for all ages.
Pinky, A Girl-Power Hero Book Review
Despite decades of advances in the woman’s movement, there are some who still believe
that girls are weaker or less smart than boys of the same age. Children’s author and
illustrator MJ Daley-Prado saw a need for a strong, young, female character and Pinky
fits the bill.
This empowering story is geared for audiences aged 4 to 9 and will also appeal to older
children. My four-year-old daughter and six-year-old son loved it! Pinky is well on her
way to becoming a bedtime favorite in our household. Pinky packs a wallop; both in the
boxing ring and in the book’s wonderful message. She isn’t afraid to do things her way;
i.e., streaking her blonde hair or concealing her identity in the championship match.
Don’t think of calling her a tomboy, as Pinky isn’t happy to copy the boys – she sets out
to beat them. Ignoring her Mom and Coaches’ warnings, Pinky enters the State Boxing
tournament to compete against the guys! Will she win? Can she overcome the doubters
and gain the crowd’s support?
You’ll have to pick up a copy to find out. Pinky’s message is clear and Prado’s beautiful
illustrations keep even the youngest reader’s interest peaked. Prado is the author of six
children’s books, including Grandma, What Is Cancer?
I highly recommend Pinky for early readers looking for a girl-power hero. Pinky K.
Henderson is a heroine who will entertain children and charm adults alike. 5 Stars

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.

Thank you for the complementary comment. I just wish there was an easier way to let people know about my book. Do you have any suggestions? Would you be willing to spread this link to my book around or better yet post it on your web site?
I hope that you are enjoying the summer.
Blessings,
Chris
You're correct, there is a long list of celebrities with MS. I hope they are pouring a lot of cash into research. If you've ever get the opportunity to read my book (Tatepublishing.com), please do me a favor and let me know what you think of it. I hope that you are having a good day and are able to enjoy the summer. Please keep in touch and take care.
God bless,
Chris
