Book Description
While many of us grew up in a home with siblings and two loving parents, there are those, particularly in todays society, who grow up in single-parent homes. Charlie is a young boy being raised in a single-parent home who has questions about why his father does not live with him. His mother lovingly does the best she can to put his mind at ease by showing him he has an entire family that cares about him. My Friend Tommy Has a Daddy and a Mommy explains to children in an entertainingly poetic format that they are loved by both parents although there may only be one parent present in the home. I read the book to my grandsons and they asked me to read it again. They thought it was a happy story and I think so too. The book is still on my coffee table and my grandson, due to come in the door any minute, will go straight to the book and ask me to read it to him. We love it. Thank you for putting such an important message into such sweet words. Candida Whitaker Brown

Book Description
Patty has spent much of her childhood seeing to her older brother Tommy, a hemophiliac who's often confined to bed. When Patty is eleven and Tommy nineteen, he asks her to make a secret pact with him, one that will strike a blow against his debilitating disease. If she says yes, he'll share the magic inside a small orange box containing folded pieces of paper he calls "belly buttons." He promises that these little packets hold enough substance to carry her through the darkest of future days. Explaining that by choosing carefully using the clue atop each one and performing the ritual printed inside the lid, the words written within will act as a guide toward her future path. As the decades pass and Patty struggles to both keep her end of the pact and selfishly hold onto a love letter meant for someone else, she opens six of the seven belly buttons and is always astounded at her brothers' foresight in creating them. With only one belly button left in the little orange box to last her the rest of her days, she must ask herself if she believes enough in its magic to offer it to her brother in his time of need. If so, can she also find a way to unburden herself of the yet-to-be-delivered letter?
