Claire Cashmore, MBE and Paralympic gold medallist, was born without a
left forearm – but she never let being different stand in the way of
her big dreams. Splash is based on Claire’s real-life experience: this
gold-medal-winning swimmer really was scared of water … until one day,
everything changed!
These are Claire’s big sisters.
They call her Bear and ruffle her hair.
And whatever Claire’s sisters can do,
Claire can do too …
But there is one thing Claire won't do …The water in the swimming pool
makes her feel squirmy inside. Follow her sisters? No thank you! Not
today?
Can Claire conquer her fears? Can she set foot in the water – and what
will happen if she does?
Splash features a brilliantly bold heroine, who happens to be
differently abled, and brims with fun, positivity and Claire Cashmore’s
inspirational growth mindset message.

A Mysterious Girl Puts the Future of a Kingdom in the Balance
One icy-cold winter night, everything changes: a young girl shows
up at the king and new queen's castle doorstep wearing little more
than a purple jacket and carrying a black pouch. The king
recognizes the mystery girl's identity as the long-lost princess
without her uttering even a single word. However, the new queen
refuses to believe the king's claims. In turn, a devious plan is
hatched... and, the results are quite fitting
This new twist on Hans Christen Andersen's "The Princess and the
Pea" is surely to be loved by all fairy tale enthusiasts. "The
Princess and the Ruby: An Autism Fairy Tale" adds to much-needed
age-appropriate literature for girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Both fun and education are cleverly weaved in this magical tale,
teaching children to be comfortable in their own skin and to
respect the differences of others.
Acclaim for The Princess and the Ruby
"As someone who has a couple of friends with Autistic kids, I
understand the challenges these families have. This modern day
twist on The Princess and the Pea not only shows how others judge
something they do not understand, but how someone with Autism can
see, feel and do things one might not expect."
--V.S. Grenier, "Mom's Choice" Silver Honoree and award-winning
author
""The Princess and the Ruby" is a heartwarming narrative; a tale
that beautifully depicts several unique characterizations of Autism
Spectrum Disorder. Jewel Kats has refreshingly shed light upon a
daily struggle to redefine 'normalized behaviors', in an admirable
effort to gain societal acceptance and respect."
--Vanessa De Castro, Primary Residential Counselor with Autistic
Youth

Some bonds can't be broken. Ten years after the tragic
disappearance of her twin sister Leah, sixteen-year-old Mia Klein
still struggles to exist within a family that has never fully
recovered. Deep in the dark recesses of her mind lies an
overwhelming shadow, taunting Mia with mind-splitting headaches
that she tries to hide in an effort to appear okay. Leah Klein's
life as she knew it ended the day she was taken, thrust into a
world of abuse and fear by a disturbed captor - 'Mother,' as she
insists on being called. Ten years later, any recollections of her
former life are nothing more than fleeting memories, except for
those about her twin sister, Mia. As Leah tries to gain the courage
to escape, Mia's headaches grow worse. Soon, both sisters will
discover that their fates are linked in ways they never realised.
