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

JUVENILE FICTION: SOCIAL ISSUES - SPECIAL NEEDS
"Snow White's Seven Patches: A Vitiligo Fairy Tale" is a modern-day
story with the classical theme of good conquering evil. You'll find
the age-old ingredients of a magic mirror, poisonous apple, dwarfs,
and romance here. However, this adaptation includes a vain mother
who's so clouded by beauty myths that she keeps her own daughter a
secret, while plagiarizing the workings of her mind. Everything
falls apart when the good mirror finally speaks the truth.
Young readers with vitiligo will look at their own skin patches
with a unique lens, finding interesting shapes and stories behind
each puffy cloud of white. Readers will be introduced to the
firsthand-hurt that plagiarism can cause through Snow White's
experience. The loving dwarf family illustrates that helping people
in need should be a priority in life. Readers learn that not all
princesses look alike. The concept of "beauty is within the eye of
the beholder" is exemplified by the prince and magic mirror.
"Life is not really perfect, even if you are so-called normal.
Children must grow and overcome then move on through the many
difficulties that arise in their lives, some can be the lack of
understanding, sympathy and acceptance. For those who are disabled
in one way or another, not perfect, this can be an ongoing reality.
Jewel Kats has an insight into the world of children who have life
stacked against them. This is just one of her retellings of a
timeless tale geared to helping others, and if it can be done,
righting a wrong."
--J.D. Holiday, author, illustrator, host of Book Garden Radio
"Jewel Kats entertains and engages, highlighting significant
issues that resonate with children and adults alike. In "Snow
White's Seven Patches," Jewel emphasizes how to overcome adversity
with creativity. She encourages children to maintain a healthy
perspective about their physical appearance. Jewel reminds us that
despite wickedness, we can move on and get about the business of
life, letting serendipity take us to wonderful places in hope. And
just maybe what we think we might have, we will be able to
achieve."
