Bella Gets a New Sweater
The inspirational warmth of this delightful children’s book is directed at any child who may feel a bit "different" about who they are. Maybe it’s because of freckles, glasses,the color of their skin, or perhaps a medical condition that makes the child feel "separated" from others. Bella and Gizmo set off on an adventure to GET BELLA A NEW SWEATER, synonymous with a child getting a new wig, bandana or hat. Bella and Gizmo meet LUCY the Beagle dog, and show how important it is to "keep your ears and eyes open for people YOU meet along the way, don’t be afraid to lend a smile or give someone a gentle touch, you may never realize how something so little can mean so very much!" Remember that it doesn't matter what we look like on the outside, it's INSIDE that matters the most, also, "kindness is contagious." God Bless all the children in this world and their unique qualities that make them each so very special, just like BELLA and GIZMO. "Bald can be beautiful!"

Bella & Gizmo's Adventures
Children need our help to understand differences in this world. The Hairless Sphynx Cats tales help "educate children about being different" and help to break that "Barbie Doll" stereotype. The word games in the back of the books will help children to reinforce their learning from the stories. The more children learn about "being different", the more prejudices will be eliminated,for "education reduces prejudice."
