This book began as the dream of a little girl named Brooke. From her hospital bed in New York City, she asked me to write her a story and call it, The Princess & The Parakeet ... unfortunately, she never got to hear it. So I fashioned the heroic Princess in this tale after her, bringing her enduring spirit to every page, fulfilling a little girl's final wish.Read it and you keep Brooke alive within you and make her dream come true.*A portion of every sale is donated to BrookesBlossoms.org in her memory
