Deborah’s Smile: The Light of Courage
Sometimes, the smallest readers carry the biggest hearts.
Meet Deborah, a bright, brave little girl from Kenya who’s preparing for life-saving surgery. In the days leading up to her operation, Deborah found comfort, hope, and joy in an unexpected friend — Amara.As she turned each page of Amara’s Adventures: A Trip to the African American Museums in Jacksonville, Florida, Deborah’s face lit up.
The story of a young girl exploring history, learning through curiosity, and believing in herself filled her with the courage she needed most. For a moment, hospitals faded away. What remained was a child’s laughter, imagination, and belief that she could be just as brave as Amara.
When Nola D Oracle heard Deborah’s story, she shared from the heart:“Deborah’s courage reminds me so much of Amara — brave, strong, and full of light. Please send her love, strength, and healing energy.”
And that’s exactly what we’re doing.
Across oceans and time zones, we’re sending Deborah a wave of love — from our readers, teachers, parents, and little adventurers everywhere. Because Amara’s Adventures isn’t just a book; it’s a bridge of hope, proof that stories can travel farther than we ever imagined.
Today, we celebrate Deborah — her smile, her courage, and the unbreakable spirit she shares with Amara.
If Deborah’s story touches your heart, share it with someone who believes in the power of stories.
