NEW CHILDREN’S BOOK TO HELP RAISE AWARENESS FOR MARCH OF DIMES
Looking for a special gift for a special boy or girl?  Check out Little Harper Grace and the Hummingbird, a charming new children’s book whose central character is born prematurely. 

                                    This wonderfully entertaining book was written by Jacksonville author, Jessie Preza.  Jessie is an active member of the March of Dimes Family Team Advisory Council in Jacksonville and also stays busy with her advertising, design and photography agency. 

This book project is near and dear to Jessie’s heart as she had a niece and nephew who were born prematurely and spent six long weeks in the NICU.  She experienced first-hand what her sister and brother-in-law had to endure. 

Because of that experience, she states:  “One of my goals for this book is not only to tell an entertaining and sweet story to children, but also to help raise awareness for the March of Dimes. 
Little Harper Grace is a shy, pint-sized girl who meets an unlikely friend in her backyard.

It takes a little birdie to help her discover her unique talent. 

This story reminds us that big things do come in small packages and that being different is what makes us special. “The main character in my book struggles with self-confidence,” said author Jessie Preza. “I felt there was a strong need for a children’s book with a positive message, geared specifically toward little girls.
