Corky Books
A child who may go blind. A big sister who is a light catcher for her brother with special needs. A boy from the Philippines who started the Happy Animals Club. A girl who brings color back to the world. These are a few of the stories in the Corky Books series that celebrates the spirit of children: all colors, all creeds, all abilities.
I interview real kids and, from those interviews, create stories reflecting the spirit of those kids. Each story is filled with universal messages that teach, inspire, and spread acceptance, laughter, and understanding. I have published five books. You can find my books on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Addison the Light Catcher
Listen to Addison tell the story of her super-duper light catcher, which she made when her brother with special needs was born so she could catch his light and share it with the world. This story about love, admiration, and the special bond between siblings sheds light on the power of advocacy and the magic inside of everyone.

With donations from people all around the world, Ken rescues thousands of animals each year. Ken the Keeper shines a light on the power of helping the helpless. Be a Keeper!
Will It
This is a story of bravery, courage, and the power we all have within us to overcome our greatest fears and doubts. Will has Bardet-Biedl syndrome, which causes retinal degeneration and may eventually render him blind. This doesn’t define Will or prevent him from doing anything he dreams. We can all learn a lesson from him to face the world as we are, with a brave heart, bold spirit, and wicked sense of humor.
From Malena with Love
What would the world be like without love? Birds couldn’t fly. A dark gray would take over and all the creatures and people would lose their color. This is what happens one day when Malena wakes up. She discovers that love has left the world, and as sadness takes her over, she starts to lose her color. Malena makes a choice to try to bring love back. Will she save the world?
