Book Review – Leah’s Voice by Lori DeMonia - Autism Daily

Monique is a graduate from The Cleveland Institute of Art with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration. She draws her inspiration from children’s books, different cultures around the world, and she enjoys to challenge herself with each new project. Monique is always looking for new ways to hone her skills as an Illustrator and a Designer. It’s not something that will go away, but we see Leah handle things better all the time,” Daddy said. “And we can try to see the world a little like Leah does. If we waited for her to be just like you or anyone else that would be a lot of waiting.”I think that, being on The Voice, I protected my family story. They wanted to know about family heartbreak and all that, to make a good show, but I refused to shared that. I spent a long time working with the press team to ensure stories about my family didn't go public, because it involved a lot of people and a lot of people's lives. It didn't seem like the right platform to share that, but with this book, it did feel like the right platform. It's me getting a chance to tell it, and it's also me speaking out to people who may have had to deal with family bereavement or family breakup or the whole pain of having to go through the music industry. With this book, I knew I'd be able to encourage people and speak a bit more hope into that situation."
