The Snow Goose is a simple, short written parable on the regenerative power of friendship and love, set against a backdrop of the horror of World War 2. It documents the growth of a friendship between Philip Rhayader, an artist living a solitary life in an abandoned lighthouse in the marshlands because of his disabilities, and a young local girl, Fritha. The snow goose, wounded by gunshot and many miles from home, is found by Fritha and, as the human friendship blossoms, can the bird be nursed back to flight? Will Fritha and Rhayander find love or is his sailboat lost at sea? Can Rhayander be among those hundreds he has saved?
This is the original version first published in 1940 in The Saturday Evening Post, later expanded into a longer version and published in book form in 1941.

Bisous for Leo is a children's book about a little duck (little boy Leo) from France who has a rare, genetic neurodegenerative disease called INAD - Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy, or in simpler terms, Parkinson's mixed with Alzheimer's for kids. It was written for Leo by a friend of Leo's mom, Whitney Patapoff, who was so moved by his story. She wanted so much to help Leo and his family and therefore, donated the book to them with hopes of boosting their campaign Bisous for Leo.
The campaign was launched in September 2018, with their Instagram account @BisousForLeo encouraging it's followers to help kiss INAD goodbye, not just for Leo but for all children affected by the disease. People from all around the world have been posting their kisses (or Bisous as they say in French) and tagging Bisous for Leo to help raise awareness. The campaign also raises funds to benefit the INADcure Foundation, the only U.S.-based non-profit dedicated to the INAD community. The INADcure Foundation works to identify and fund the most promising INAD research projects. All of the proceeds raised from this book will go directly to the INADcure Foundation and hopefully help eradicate this devastating disease.
