The press release for this just came accross my desk. I think it might be a good thing to have in our bedtime story routine, my kindergartener and preschooler don't really understand much about their Cf sister, so maybe this will be good.
<b>'Kyle's First Crush': New Children's Book Addresses Cystic Fibrosis with Endearing Preschool Love Story </b>
WESTON, Fla., Nov. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Author Leah Orr tells the heartwarming story of a little boy's crush on a beautiful girl who is afflicted with cystic fibrosis in her new book, "Kyle's First Crush" (now available through AuthorHouse).
Kyle falls in love for the first time in Miss Irene's pre-kindergarten class. The girl he loves, Ashley Elizabeth, is a very special girl who melts his heart. Ashley has cystic fibrosis, and Kyle learns from his teacher how this illness affects her. With the help of his mom, Kyle finally summons the courage to tell Ashley how he feels about her.
Orr's book is beautifully illustrated in full color by Josephine Lepore. Both the story and the artwork bring smiles to faces young and old.
The author plans to donate all the profits from this book to the CF Foundation.
Orr is the mother of Ashley Elizabeth, and Lepore is Ashley's grandmother. "Kyle's First Crush" is the first in a series of seven books that the author plans to write about Ashley Elizabeth and cystic fibrosis.
"Children born today [with cystic fibrosis] are expected to live much longer [than in the past], but scientists, researchers and the CF Foundation are looking toward a cure by 2012," says Orr. "So, I will write a book every year until a cure is found."
