To capture the interest of today's kids, I took a unique approach: my real-life son, twelve-year-old Anthony, travels back in time and is pictured in real historical photographs and has real conversations with America's heroes. I also designed the book to help parents and teachers by including recommendations for movies, music, and places to visit. I am honored to be recognized for this new approach. The mission of Parent-to-Parent is "to contribute in a positive way to the education and rearing of our children."I hope I achieve that with my book.

"I am absolutely thrilled and honored that you have recognized my work, 24/7 or Dead: A Handbook for Families with a Loved One in the Hospital as a first-time author. I AM on a mission to prevent unnecessary hospital deaths through partnership with the medical community. The fear that this subject generates caused 250+ publishers to reject my manuscript without a medical co-author and continues to frighten away people who would benefit from the message. The power in this message is that I AM a medical lay person and if I can make a difference, so can you! Denial is one of the most widespread diseases in this country today and it is my hope that your endorsement, accompanied by Ms. Lynn’s statement, 'A true treasure...one to have in possession before such a stressful event ever happens,' will help break down the resistance to simple information that can and does save lives.

"I feel so very honored to have received this prestigous award, the 2005 Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom award, for my book BELLA AND GIZMO'S ADVENTURES: The Hairless Sphynx Cats. 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." I am grateful to be 'Adding Wisdom' to our youth of today,through the meanings and illustrations in my books. Children love the hairless cats and get a laugh out of the photos of the real Bella and Gizmo, at the end of the book. Children love the challenging games, and when they have truly 'added wisdom' and figure out that the author is HAIRLESS as well, this offers reassurance that the meanings contained within are true and genuine!
Thanks for helping me to help children and allowing parents to know that the BELLA AND GIZMO'S ADVENTURES series, are books worthy enough to hold this prestigious Adding Wisdom Award. THANK YOU! - God Bless!" ~ Jodi Pliszka, M.S., Author-Illustrator, Nightengalepress.com. www.jodipliszka.npauthors.com
