BELLA is available through Ms. Pliszka's website www.jodipliszka.npauthors.com. A portion of the proceeds will go to the National Alopecia Areata Foundation for research. Please help to find a cure for a BALD LITTLE CHILD! THANK YOU SO MUCH! GOD BLESS YOU!

Or the admonition to your five-year-old of, "No, you can't have the leftover cotton candy for breakfast, even if you do pour milk over it."
