What about me? This question, usually unspoken, lies at the heart of this poignant story, as a young girl attempts to cope with her brother's being ill. Beautifully written and illustrated, this story deals with the many complicated feelings the well child experiences in such a situation: guilt about having somehow caused the illness, fear that the sibling will die, anger over being left out, anxiety about catching the sickness, and longing for life to return to the way it was. The story will allow parents and their well children to take some time out for one another and to forge a renewed sense of family.

As featured in REDBOOK December 2007 issue. Based on the true story of two sisters, Isabelle's Dream takes the reader on a heartwarming journey from grief to hope. The story begins as Isabelle gazes out her bedroom window at the stars, wondering where her sister Sophia has gone. She knows Sophia is in Heaven, but where is that? Can Isabelle go there, too, so she and Sophia can be together again? That night, Sophia visits Isabelle in a dream. Through the beauties of nature, Sophia shows Isabelle the earthly joys that still await her and reassures her that they will be sisters forever. The book is interactive and therapeutic. Black-and-white illustrations invite children to add their own creativity using crayons, colored pencils or glitter glue. Blank activity pages encourage each child to create original words or pictures about his or her special person. The story and art therapy format opens the door to conversations about loss in gentle, non-threatening ways. "Seven Tips for Parents of Bereaved Children" provide guidance and resources for gentle grief support. Author Betsy Bottino Arenella wrote the book to comfort friends whose one-year-old daughter Sophia died unexpectedly and unexplainably in her sleep.

The Magic Sleigh Bell has achieved Best Seller status in the Canadian publishing industry. This is remarkable considering it is a self-published, seasonal title with mostly regional exposure and limited retail distribution.The Magic Sleigh Bell is a delightful Christmas novella which tells the story of a young brother and sister who find a tiny bell while raking the leaves. The 7-year-old sister believes the bell must have fallen from Santa's sleigh and rolled down their roof. Her 10-year-old brother, however is at that age when he's not sure if he still believes. The discovery marks the beginning of their efforts to get their struggling family into the Christmas spirit.
