When a child is diagnosed with cancer, their brothers and sisters often struggle silently with fear, sadness, and uncertainty. They need comfort, hope, and a safe way to express their feelings.

💜 Jamie’s Journey: Cancer from the Voice of a Sibling was created to do just that. Part story, part journal, it offers siblings a safe space to heal during one of the hardest times a family can face.

📖 Each book is just $12.99 — and for every book you donate, Story Monsters LLC will contribute an additional copy. That means your generosity will be doubled.

Together, we can place these books in pediatric hospitals, giving comfort and hope to the children who need it most.

🇺🇸✨ Honoring Our Heroes ✨🇺🇸
Johnny Vet: America’s Original Superhero has been nominated for the Outstanding Creator Awards!

📚 Written by Major General Alan B. Salisbury (Ret.) and illustrated by Carla Millar, this powerful story introduces families to the service, sacrifice, and patriotism of America’s veterans.

Johnny represents the everyman of veterans and Jane the everywoman—symbols of the millions who have defended freedom since 1775. With fewer than 1% of Americans serving today, Johnny Vet bridges the gap, reminding us that veterans are, indeed, America’s original superheroes. 🌟

Congratulations to Major General Salisbury and Carla Millar on this prestigious recognition! 👏

✨🎄 Big News! ✨
The Legend of Ranger: The Reindeer Who Couldn’t Fly has been nominated for the Outstanding Creator Awards!

📚 Written by Major General Alan B. Salisbury (Ret.) and beautifully illustrated by Roberta Baird, this holiday treasure reminds us all that the secret to soaring lies within. 🦌💫

In this heartwarming tale, Ranger dreams of pulling Santa’s sleigh. He seeks the secret of flight from wise elves, Mrs. Claus, and even Rudolph—each reminding him: “The secret lies within.” When an urgent mission to save sick reindeer arises, Ranger discovers the truth inside himself, proving that believing in yourself can unlock the power to overcome challenges and make dreams soar. ✨

Congratulations to Major General Salisbury and Roberta Baird on this wonderful recognition! 🌟

What started as the imagination of a 13-year-old has become an international award-winning song! 🌟

We are thrilled to share that the “Hey Mommy” Theme Song has been awarded Best International Song at the largest International Indie Film Event in Toronto 2025! 🎶✨

Inspired by I Know What You Do When I Go to School by 13-year-old author/illustrator Siona Talekar, this award reflects the power of youth storytelling and creative collaboration.

Hats off to the incredible team: Zachary Simpson (music & lyrics), Erin Rementer (vocals), and under the direction of Linda F. Radke, Story Monsters LLC. 🌟

A Major General, a Publisher, and a Monster—Story Monster—Walk Into a Story… and Deliver Hope in a Box

Major General Alan B. Salisbury (Ret.), U.S. Army, is teaming up with Story Monsters® and publisher Linda F. Radke to get more children reading—and believing in themselves. Together, they are launching a new phase of the Story Monsters Greenie Box™ initiative: a national effort to deliver lovingly packed boxes of new books to Title I schools, children’s hospitals, and military-connected classrooms.

Each Greenie Box contains new donated books, and many also include coloring books, activity pages, and even a Story Monster plush keychain—small touches that make a big impact on young readers.

Major General Salisbury is proudly supporting the mission by contributing copies of his two beloved books—“The Legend of Ranger: The Reindeer Who Couldn’t Fly” and “Johnny Vet: America’s Original Superhero”—to inspire young readers with stories of service, resilience, and purpose.

“This campaign gives my books a new life and greater purpose,” said Major General Salisbury. “It’s an honor to share them with children who need encouragement or simply a reminder that they matter.”

Organizations and individuals can support the mission in three ways:
A. Sponsor a Story Monsters Greenie Box™
B. Request to be added to the recipient list if connected to a Title I school, pediatric hospital, or military/veterans classroom
C. Make a general contribution of any amount, which will go directly toward donating new books or building additional Greenie Boxes for children in need

“I may be green… but I know a great idea when I read one!” said Story Monster. “When readers, teachers, generals, and yes—even story monsters—team up, we can deliver big stories and even bigger smiles! Maybe this is a new branch of the military. Make room, Space Force—we’ve got stories to deploy!”

To learn more, sponsor a box, or request one for your organization, visit https://storymonsters.com/story-monster-greenie-box or contact Linda F. Radke at [email protected] or 480-940-8182.

🌟 Msituni, a baby giraffe at the San Diego Zoo, was born with bent legs. Thanks to custom braces, she can now run again. 🦒💚

Similar to Msituni, Marky the Magnificent Fairy was born with only one small wing. But that didn’t stop her from finding her magic and soaring in her own way. ✨

Both remind us: strength comes in many forms. What’s one challenge you’ve turned into a triumph?
