Isabella Marie Sammarco (Oct. 7th, 1971 - July 29th, 1986) Isabella was known by her family and friends for her tremendous zest and respect for life; with a sparkle in her eyes and a contagious smile, she taught those around her to appreciate their lives and to love one another. Although she was very much aware from an early age that her life would be short, this knowledge did not stop her from living with a purpose and making each day count. Isabella was diagnosed at eight months with Thalassemia Major - a genetic blood disorder - that required her to have regular, monthly transfusions to survive. She fought vigorously to overcome the numerous obstacles that she encountered during her brief life, until her small body could fight no more. Isabella died two months short of her fifteenth birthday. This book is the heartfelt, truthful account of a brave soul and her dedicated family. It is a story that will touch all who read it and inspire those looking for guidance and hope.

Reading to a child is leading him/her into the world of a particular topic. The interpretations and explanations are fundamental in formulating a mind's image of all that is verbalized. What is read to a child is just as important as how it is read, and once a child steps into the words using his own imagination there is a stimulation that entices their want to hear more. Running alongside a lion in chase, or climbing to the very top of a huge redwood and seeing the entire world below, skipping along the ocean floor, or hearing a voice coming from a tree are just a few of the many trips your child will take in their journey through Isabella's Fables. And through the adventure there is a lesson to be learned. Unlike the fables of old, these stories are written in present day vernacular and the "moral of the story" is easily understood.
