Chris Hadfield endorses “Now That I’m Here”
Sunday, May 1st, 2016—NewsAstronaut and overall extraordinary human being (and Kickass Canadian!) Chris Hadfield has endorsed my upcoming children’s book, Now That I’m Here:
“Now That I’m Here is a touching, helpful book for all of us who deal with illness growing up. A lovely, sad, good and loving tribute that gives hope and strength where it’s needed most.”
Thank you so much, Chris!
Published through my shingle, Wonderpress, Now That I’m Here is a tribute to young Kate Drury and will raise funds for the CHEO Research Institute in support of research into SIFD, the type of mitochondrial disease she suffered from. It will be available for print-on-demand orders, in English and French, this September 2016, in time for Global Mitochondrial Disease Awareness Week.
Here’s a look at one of the illustrations in progress, by the gifted Karem Laguna:
