Press Release - We Love You Just the Way You Are

                    For Immediate Release

                   

                Joanne Veeck’s latest children’s book:

                 We Love You Just the Way You Are

Filled with compassion, We Love You Just the Way You Are, a new children’s book, written by Joanne Veeck (author of Your Leaves Are Pretty, The Greatest Gift of All and co-author of Stepping Stones to Success), is not only a must read for children but for teachers of all levels/credentials and adults alike.  This true story is centered on Adam, a special boy from northern California, who was born with rare disabilities and the profound effect he and his life has had on an entire community.  With so few cases of Adam’s exact medical condition and special needs, worldwide, no one, including Adam’s doctors, was completely sure of what to expect. The love and care Adam has been given over the years is remarkable; but you’ll find the gifts Adam has offered to his family and friends to be truly extraordinary!

Joanne Veeck is an author, educator and keynote speaker. With over 17 years of research, she specializes in the topic of Positive Psychology. Joanne has proven that, when given the proper tools and techniques, happiness and overall well-being is completely attainable and should no longer be perceived as a lifelong goal. She is passionate about helping people of all ages, and her books are proof!

Recently Joanne read We Love You Just the Way You Are to a 4^th grade class. When she finished she asked the children to rate her book from one to five stars. Before any of the children had the chance to even raise their hands, one boy shouted out, “SIX!” Read and feel the difference one woman can make!
