About the Author

Taline Dorna is an elementary school teacher, proud mom of 3, wife, and a published author. Her journey started when her son was diagnosed with unilateral retinoblastoma at the young age of 5 months old; a very rare eye cancer. She searched high and low for story books that feature a child with a prosthetic eye and they were few and far between. As a result, she decided to write a children's story book that could be used in a classroom setting as a social story to introduce childhood cancer and unique qualities. Her aim was also to help aide newly diagnosed patients, as well as a way to spread general awareness about retinoblastoma while most importantly, instilling confidence in children alike.
