Critique: Thoroughly ‘child friendly’ in storyline and presentation, “You Are So Much More: An Inspiration for Children Healing from Illness or Injury” is a superbly crafted picture book for children ages 5-7. While very highly recommended for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library health/medicine collections, it should be noted for personal reading lists that “You Are So Much More: An Inspiration for Children Healing from Illness or Injury” is also available in a paperback edition (9781615996322, $16.95) and in a digital book format (Kindle, $4.95).

Jewel at 33 is a Princess in her own right.

She's a fun-loving, demanding Diva who loves to
shop as much she loves to write. Jewel is the apple of
everyone's eye--be it her doting family, her doctor
for her never-ending bowel issues, her pushy book
editor and especially her frugal husband's soft spot.
So, what's Jewel's weakness? Her pet dogs: Snowie
and Dolly. Particularly, naughty Snowie who is known
to pee wherever he fancies--including Dolly's face!



For Jewel, her physical disability doesn't dampen her
spirits. Rather, it enhances them. She gets to use an
unusual fashion accessory (Imagine: A hot pink elbow
crutch.) She gets out of doing housework. She gets
carried up-and-down stairs like a Princess a la command.
Jewel may be horribly messy, terrible with numbers
and a workaholic, but nobody can imagine life without
her. Not that she would let them, anyway! She has
a big mouth, remember?



About the Author

Once a teen runaway, Jewel Kats is now a
self-made Diva. Her closet is stuffed with
fashion and beauty accessories. She's overcome sexual abuse,
disabilities, you name it... Jewel interned in the TV studio of Entertainment
Tonight Canada. She appeared in a documentary series by the
Oprah Winfrey Network (Canada) in 2012.
