"This inspired the children's book, Leah's Voice. The fictional story shares the moment a young girl is told about her sister's autism diagnosis."
November 2014 - Autism Parenting Magazine.
"My daughters’ relationship inspired the story. Through the ups and downs, their loving devotion to each other has always remained strong. I wanted to write a story about a sibling learning that her older sister is on the spectrum, and started to speculate about the future and how bringing friends to the house may become difficult for her. Leah’s younger sister is so mature for her age, and has compassion for her sister and all families affected by autism. She supports her sister no matter what, and we are extremely proud of her!"
September 2014 - Radio Interview
"Lori has written Leah's Voice, the story of an autistic child and her sibling, told from the sibling's point of view. It is meant to show how understanding can be taught by example. Leah DeMonia, now 13, contributed illustrations to the book."
July 2014 - Dr. Temple Grandin Outstanding Literary Work of the Year
"Siblings may find it difficult to explain to their friends, or feel disappointed when their friends aren’t more understanding. Leah’s Voice tells the story of two sisters facing these challenges. Through her kindness and devotion, one sister teaches by example the importance of including everyone and showing acceptance. The Autism Society presents the Dr. Temple Grandin Literary award to any item published or copyrighted within the last five years that positively affects the life of an individual or family member impacted by autism. While being a difficult subject book, It is first a superb example of good children’s literature."
November 2012 - Readers Favorite
"Leah's Voice given a 5 star review by Kristie Ingerto - a great story about accepting each and every person and treating everyone with respect and kindness."
"There needs to be a lot more emphasis on what a child can do instead of what he cannot do."
- Dr. Temple Grandin
