Ashburn, Virginia - April 12, 2011 - Story Pie Press has released its second picture book for children, Samson's Tale by Carla Mooney, in support of Flashes of Hope. This book tells the story of a boy and his dog, and how together they can get through anything…even cancer.
Samson’s Tale was written by Carla Mooney (and illustrated by Kathleen Spale) after being inspired by her own son who has courageously lived with leukemia. The story touches on the support of family, but mostly captures the bond between a boy and his loyal and loving dog. Carla and Story Pie Press chose Flashes of Hope as the organization they would like to support because of its dedication in providing hope and smiles to children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Flashes of Hope is a nonprofit organization that “changes the way children with cancer and other life threatening illnesses see themselves through the gift of photography and raises money for pediatric cancer research.” www.flashesofhope.org

Carla’s has authored over 20 books for kids and teens, with Samson’s Tale being her first picture book for children. Carla lives near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with her husband and three children. She also volunteers her time as the Pittsburgh Chapter Director for Flashes of Hope.

Carla will be celebrating the book launch of Samson’s Tale at The Penguin Bookshop in the heart of Sewickley, Pennsylvania on May 14 from 1 to 3 PM during a special pet related event called Sewickley Unleashed. Samson’s Tale will be available for purchase at the book launch, Amazon, independent bookstores, hospitals, and other boutiques and stores. The book retails at $15.99.
