THREE STORIES. ONE BRAVE HEART.
Adventures in imagination, resilience, and joy — written and illustrated by Melanie Farrar
MEET A HEROINE WITH HEART.
Melanie Farrar’s picture books celebrate creativity, resilience, and the power of staying joyful — even when the path takes unexpected turns.
Each story is created with heart — and gives back to causes that support theatre artists and those living with MS.
Beneath the sparkle of new shoes and the loyalty of a faithful dog lives a heroine who meets life with curiosity, courage, and unstoppable spirit.
