MJ Daley-Prado, Writer Living in Maryland, USA

Baltimore, MD, April 24, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Bio: MJ Daley-Prado is an author and illustrator of children's books. MJ received her certificate in commercial art from the Professional Institute of Professional Art in 1978.

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the United States today. We all know there is plenty of research being done and many strides in medical advances being made every single day. The one area that lacks that same response is helping our young children to cope with the illness and possibly a death of a loved one.

After having been through two personal experiences with cancer within her own family Ms. Daley-Prado decided it was time for her to take matters into her own hands and do something about it.

When illness struck her sister's family, her sister had 4 small children at the time, all between the ages of 4 and 12. They went searching for material but the books were all about "doom and gloom". There were no illustrations or books that a tiny child could relate to. They just weren't the types of books they were looking for to present to very young children.

MJ started to write this book many times but grief got in the way. When her Mother died in 2003 she told MJ she really needed to do this book. So, with that said..."this is how this journey began..."

MJ Daley-Prado has now written and published five books.

MJ has graciously agreed to donate 50% of the royalties from the sale of each book sold to "The Johns Hopkins Breast Center" in Baltimore, Maryland and to "The Dream Foundation" in Santa Barbara, California in memory of Shirley A. Daley (Mother) and Shirley A. Danlag (Sister) who both fought courageously but lost their lives to cancer.
