WORLD HAEMOPHILIA DAY 2015

WHD2015_Banner_ENAnd so… what would World Haemophilia Day have to do with an Independent Publisher and a children’s picture book?

Well, probably not much, unless, that publisher was …

WHOA! JOE BOOK AND CD

Who knows where inspiration comes from?

For Whoa! Joe, it came when a grandmother was driving to see her grandson.  A grandson who happened to be born with Severe Haemophilia B, but nonetheless, a grandson who loved climbing and helping and playing make-believe.  As should all 3 year olds!

Joe continues to be an inspiration.  For he is one of the fortunate ones, in that, he lives in a country where diagnosis and treatment are second-to-none. (We all have Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity to thank for that!)

It is estimated that 1 in 1000 are born with a bleeding disorder. Yet, over 75% of people with haemophilia around the world, receive inadequate testing and treatment or none at all.  

In many countries there are no adults with haemophilia!

Whoa! Joe is a celebration of childhood, loving relationships and imagination.  An inspiration to live our lives to the full by remaining in touch with that child within – the one who knows no bounds and therefore is free to dream and create a world s/he loves… A world where all children get to live life to the full.

Whoa! Joe, how you've grown!!!

Whoa! Joe, how you’ve grown!!!

 

Love called upon Inspiration…  And Inspiration came in the form of a song…  A song with pictures… Pictures which called out for a story… 

And so, the song became a picture book! Maybe, always WAS a picture book, in the Land of Inspiration!
