From Award-winning actor, filmmaker, and founder, Jaret Martino, comes Single Parents Rock! (Based On a True Story and Feature Film, DONNA: Stronger Than Pretty). Streaming everywhere you buy and rent movies.

A story about a creative, caring, and strong young girl who has the most caring heart and sees the world in ways we can all learn from. Shay knows just how special single parents are, and is excited to introduce you to the strong females in her family. When Shay turned five, her Mom and Grandma got to work on making her party extra special. Shay is exuberant to invite her friends from school and just met a new friend Nala. Through Shay’s heart we see her embrace the world’s differences with love. When her Grandma makes her a cape and a crown, she feels the magic and power of the long line of strong women that surround her.

To our Shay-Shine, as Grandma loved to call you. Continue to light up the world with your heart and smile. Love, Uncle Jaret.

To my loving Mother, Donna, who handled the role of Mom and Dad with such grace. Your untimely passing only amplified your accomplishments as a teacher and parent and I will continue to spread, unwaveringly, all your lessons and your every expression of love. Shay Marie, your beautiful granddaughter, will always be reminded of the long line of Strong Women in her family, and of the bravery it takes every woman to make a life for herself and her children.

My Review

Shay is about to turn five and her mum is organising her birthday party with the help of her Grandma (who looks incredibly young). Shay has invited her friends from school, including her new friend Nala, who has two mums.

Shay’s mum is a single parent, and has to play the role of mum and dad and she does an amazing job. Her Grandma has made her a cape and a crown, so she can feel the magic and power of the long line of strong women in her family.

This is a picture book story about love, diversity and being ‘stronger than pretty’. It has beautiful illustrations to enhance the magic of the book.

Many thanks to @zooloo2008 for inviting me to be part of this blog tour.
