Description
One young warrior, Maria, prepares herself to battle through a dangerous land in order to reach the bell on the mountain, ring it, and rid her kingdom of beasts. The brave girl faces challenges with courage and friends. At the end of the day's disappointing quest, Maria returns to her hospital bed feeling beat. But her team reminds her of exactly who she is, a warrior. An allegory telling the courageous story of the millions of children battling cancers and chronic diseases--battling their own monsters every day.

Shannon Stocker is, herself, a patient with a chronic health condition. She's also the mother of two beautiful children, one with ADHD, and one with brain cancer. As such, Shannon dreams of filling bookshelves with stories that cultivate compassion while empowering children with disabilities. Shannon is the award-winning author of Listen: How Evelyn Glennie, A Deaf Girl, Changed Percussion (Schneider Family Book Award, Notable) and Can U Save the Day. When she's not writing, you can probably find her singing, playing piano, or eating dark chocolate. She advocates for warriors from her home in Louisville, KY, which she shares with her husband Greg, her children Cassidy and Tye, and way too many critters.
