Embracing Each Other (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781662933981)

At 14, author Madison Blair Cohen was diagnosed with Scoliosis, and she was empowered to write and illustrate Embracing Each Other, her new children's book, to share her uplifting journey. Perfect for readers impacted by scoliosis, this candid tale captures the impact of peer-to-peer support, self-advocacy, personal reflection, and creative expression from diagnosis onwards.

Scoliosis is a life-long condition that can be isolating, but it doesn't have to be. Madison uses her voice to break the silence by capturing the innate beauty in nature, art, and herself. In doing so, she bravely experiments with a new medium, watercolor, which helped her layer colors, producing realistic illustrations to frame her emotions and connect with her readers on a deeper level. Each page captures Madison's spirit with tremendous courage and boundless creativity. Below the surface, the images and words tell a timeless story. As the story ends, Madison encourages readers to open their hearts, smile bright, and bravely share their stories.

Young readers will walk away from Embracing Each Other with an uplifting message that prompts camaraderie and growth. Readers of all ages will be inspired to bravely showcase their imperfections and be empowered to color their world and braces with everlasting hope.
