Leave Me Alone!

By Melinda C. Benson and Kaylee Jay Sue Mayton

Leave Me Alone! is a short, rhyming storybook about a charming young kitty named Frisky who struggles to gain control of anything he can in a world that is not going his way. Based on a true story, little Frisky, surrounded by his supportive family, recovers from brain surgery learning that no matter what happens, he is never left alone.

I love the story and believe it would really help many kids who are facing surgeries and fears.

- Dr. Patricia McClung, Professor in the Special Education Department of Lee University

I read the book and it is precious. I love the kitten character and it will make a good bibliotherapy text for children going through health issues.

On New Year’s Day of 2015, her little boy was diagnosed with an extremely rare tumor called craniopharyngioma. Having found unspeakable faith, strong community, timely provision, and unfathomable peace and joy through this tough season of life, Melinda has something extremely authentic, relevant and life changing to share!

She was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease at age 14, and as a result, has become passionate about creating awareness for children and young adults who struggle with many forms of health issues everyday.
