Today is the day!

I am so very excited to share that today is the release date of my new children's book. 
 Jacob's Special Power is a book that illustrates the value of all people, regardless of their differences.  Wrapped inside an adventure filled with superheroes and aliens is a powerful message about acceptance and appreciating all people.  I truly believe that God has a special purpose for everyone. We should be actively having conversations with our kids about how to show kindness and compassion to those with special needs. 
My hope for this book is that it will be a fun way to help parents and teachers stir up conversations about kids who are different and ways to show them acceptance.  I hope that it will be a book that kids can relate to and see that they are each special no matter what. 
I was very honored to have author and autism activist, Dr. Temple Grandin, and actor, Ed Asner, endorse the book showing their support in this journey of teaching acceptance for those with special needs.
100% of my proceeds from the book will be donated to Autism Speaks and The Dan Marino Foundation.  These organizations are dedicated to research, therapies, advocacy and helping families with autism and other disabilities.
