Today is a repost of our very first episode. In the spirit of giving this holiday season, listening to Bodie Centore share his experiences fundraising for St. Baldrick's over the last ten years is heartwarming , and may also help us think about an organization near and dear to our hearts we would like to help.
Additionally, anytime a child is ill, it is very tough for parents. We have a book specifically for first time parents to offer insight, support, and strategies for working through these difficult times as newborns sometimes have to fight too.
Enjoy this repost of a special and personal story!

a. Warrior
Author: Shannon Stocker Illustrator: Sarah K. Turner
One young warrior, Maria, prepares herself--again--to battle through a dangerous land in order to reach the bell on the mountain, ring it, and rid her kingdom of beasts. The brave girl faces Serpent Sea, Fear Forest, and Monster Mountain with courage--and help from a few friends. Will she reach the bell this time? At the end of the day's disappointing quest, Maria returns to her hospital bed feeling beat. But her team reminds her of exactly who she is, a warrior. An allegory telling the courageous story of the millions of children battling cancers and chronic diseases--battling their own monsters every day.
