Window of Hope Front Cover (1).jpg

New picture book for Robert Vescio

June 25, 2019

Congrats to Robert Vescio on the publication of

Window of Hope

Illustrated by Demelsa Haughton

Published by Little Pink Dog Books, in hardback

For ages 4 and up.

Max lives in a world of silence, hurt and alone with her thoughts. But with the help of a little bird, Max learns that she can bravely rebuild her world and give life a second chance.

A poignant story about resilience and hope, and how a disability does not mean the end of possibilities.

Lovely - congrats again Robert!
