It is written in a wonderful rhyme, and the watercolors are so full of life they will catch your child's attention through the entire story. Prior to our daughter's last omphalocele surgery, she asked a lot of questions. A nurse suggested a kids book that could help her understand what was going to happen. Because I couldn't find the right book for this situation or age, I decided to write one myself. Through a support group, I met Emily, an artist who is also an omphalocele adult. Emily was able to take the words provided and easily put emotions and life experiences into her pictures, bringing them beautifully to life.

The book was written with the scorching knowledge that the injured world of sexuality still exists in shadows and is worthy of receiving a legitimate stage. In many, sexuality raises feelings of guilt, shame and even disgust. I use the word 'many' meaning those who admit to it, not those who don't.
The ones that don't are the most of the many, the silent, that in their silence give a hand to the suppression of one of the most powerful and beautiful life energies.
As a woman who believes in creating reality, I ask to call challenge on the fears that clasp us all by our throats and shakes us fiercely.
I ask that this book of mine awaken with love, those who hide under the blanket with their eyes shut, those that are hurt who don't dare expose themselves and those who are just discontent and wish for different. In an aware and free way I choose to expose these stories, they are all taken from reality because I believe with all my heart, that people, we, all of us ask for good.
I give thanks for the privilege that was given me to bestow to the world of myself, after all, 
I am nothing but a ripple.

Randal Winter has met some very distraught homeowners over the years. Some of these people have been without kitchens for over two years and some without bathrooms for up to fourteen months. Others are stuck with leaking roofs after spending tens of thousands of dollars for what they thought was going to be a new roof.
