Fighting Lupus One Book at a Time



Meg Walsh, author of Mama, Won't You Play With Me?, has announced that a portion of the proceeds from each book sold through May will be donated to the Lupus Foundation of America.



Walsh's book is the story of Dudley Duckling whose Mama has a broken wing and cannot play with him. It is a story "written from the heart", says Walsh and a story in which the characters learn the invaluable lessons of love and family.



Walsh wrote Mama, Won't You Play With Me?, after the difficult time that her family faced as she battled Systemic Lupus. Walsh says her children immediately connected with the main character Dudley and "it is my hope that it will bring comfort to the child in a similar situation." Walsh encourages readers to visit her website http://www.megwalshonline.com/ to share their own stories and to nominate a charity to receive her donation.



Mama, Won't You Play With Me? has been voted January Book of the Month by Mamapalooza, (http://www.mamapalooza.com/) and is available at www.authorhouse.com/bookstore, your favorite book retailer or online store.
