Books: Reader Response Supports a Good Cause



Last month and again earlier this month, Maddie ranked 45th on Amazon in it's specific illustrated children's category. Everyone involved in this effort, that helps to benefit the Children's Alopecia Project, is very grateful for the public response that we have received since the print and ebook's release in August, 2013. 

 Use this link --->>Maddie: Teaching Tolerance with a Smile to see a 'free-view' of the special eBook edition. 

 I've included extra bonus features in this version that provide background information, extra photos, and illustrations. Each item helps to tell the complete story of this book's birth. 

 I also describe the process that was used to create the story and to break the third (sometimes called the fourth) wall in an expanded Acknowlegment section at the end of the digital edition.

 Readers, writers and all fans of creative work are likely to enjoy this fun online experience.
