Kendall Park, NJ (PRWEB) July 29, 2006 -- Annie Konopka’s message in this book is that whether it is Parkinson’s, MS, Arthritis, Diabetes, heart disease or other chronic illness, children need some comfort in knowing their parent or grandparents still love them and the best way to cope is to love each other --no matter what! Annie Konopka has portrayed that message with sensitivity and a genuine caring heart in “The Tale of a Parkie Princess.”

“The Tale of a Parkie Princess” is a learning tool for parents to share with their children.

Annie Konopka has lived with Parkinson’s disease, while raising her two young children. Her goal with PD is to not let it dictate any limitations, but rather choose how she will let PD affect her family. Sharing a diagnosis with young children can be difficult; this story is an attempt to help explain the effects of Parkinson’s disease with love and compassion.
