Courage From The Heart, my fifth book was recently honored by The Mom's Choice Awards. MCA
evaluates products and services created for children, families, and
educators. The program is globally
recognized for establishing the benchmark of excellence in family-friendly
media, products and services. Mom's Choice Awards is based in the
United States and has reviewed thousands of items from more than 55
countries. MCA evaluators are especially interested in honoring books that
help families grow emotionally, physically and spiritually; are morally sound

Courage From The Heart, received
the honor of Juvenile Books (Level 2 -
Ages 9 to 12) Non-Fiction and earned a Silver Medal of Excellence from Mom's
Choice Awards (Click Here for Certificate). We are grateful for
this recognition from MCA. This book evolved through years of inspiration
from children, those individuals who had a lifetime of memories to share, and
America's finest...the men and women in uniform who serve in The United States
Armed Forces. The characters in my fifth
book exemplify a nature to give of themselves and care for others. Courage From The Heart remembers
and pays tribute to the United States Army and Navy Nurses who were stationed
at several U.S. base hospitals in the Philippines from 1941-1945. These women nurses that were sent into combat
were strong, confident, and kind-their kindness was framed in courage.
Courage From The Heart is a book that exhibits true and compassionate
collaboration. Jared Oriel, illustrator,
Michele C. Barnes, design and layout coordinator, and Norma Rambow, resident of
the Armed Forces Retirement Home,
Washington, D.C. were all
instrumental in allowing our book Courage From The Heart to come
alive (Our Store Link). I am grateful for their work
ethics, their friendship, and their dedication.
Courage From The Heart
is an Intergenerational Story. It is a book that instills volunteerism in
communities and promotes literacy for people of all ages. Bonnie
Carroll, President & Founder of TAPS
wrote the following endorsement for my fifth book. "Courage From The Heart explores
the power of connection, the importance of multi-generational relationships,
and the insights offered through oral history.
Stories of those who have served will inspire future generations, as the
sound of freedom becomes ageless, courageous, and personal. This is America's story, and Glenna has given
us a treasure."
As we continue to share
across the generations, our own personal and professional journeys we can
learn, profit, and flourish as a society.
Most grateful, Glenna (TheKind Kids Organization).
