Marky the Magnificent Fairy; A Disability story of Courage, Kindness, and Acceptance.
Writer Cynthia Kern OBrien
United States
This story is a wonderful resource for children with disabilities, or to help children understand how to be kind to others who have disabilities, no matter their age. The principles of courage, kindness and understanding are universal when dealing with individuals who have disabilities of any kind. Many of the people around us have disabilities, some visible and some invisible, while others face these challenges later in life. This story taps into the imagination of young readers by helping them imagine themselves among a group of fairy friends. By creating fictional characters, such as Marky, readers can imagine themselves in the story. They feel for Marky when the other woodland creatures make fun of her. They laugh at her small wing or say mean things about her fiery-red hair, her glasses or even her freckles. That really hurt Marky’s feelings, and young readers can relate to this. Readers learn that Marky is not that different from the other fairies. Everyone has hopes and dreams! The book also includes a valuable resource guide for parents, caregivers and teachers: “How to talk to children about people with disabilities.”

Q&A HOST
Johnny Roque
Unleashing laughter, one punchline at a time. Stand-up comedian hailing from El Monte, sharing the hilarious tales of my not-so-average upbringing near the City of Angels. A skilled writer and multi-talented performer, but I keep my singing and dancing strictly for fun. Stay tuned for more laughs and behind-the-scenes adventures!
My mission
Is to make jokes and create laughter. I produce content that is smart, satirical, comical, and empathetic. I strive to represent Mexican and Chicano American culture in a positive light.
My vision
Bringing my stories to life that that both display the reality of my neighborhood and the fantastic depths of my imagination. I believe that by doing so, we can entertain and educate my audience, while also promoting moral and ethical values.
My team
My strength lies in my individuality. Acting in school plays prepared me to perform on larger stages and in front of the camera. I learned to write at Azusa Pacific University, where I found a craft that only loves the dedicated. Producing content requires a skillset that involves team management, budgeting, and creativity. My team is me and I full faith in my team's ability.
