A STORY INSPIRED BY REAL HOPE
The Girl with the Golden Ribbon
Austen has always loved ribbons. But when life suddenly becomes filled with hospital rooms, doctors, and days that require more courage than she knew she had, one golden ribbon begins to mean something more.
As kindness appears in unexpected places, Austen discovers that courage doesn't always mean being fearless—and sometimes the greatest hope comes from carrying a little of it for someone else.
A heartfelt picture book about courage, kindness, childhood cancer, and the hope we carry for one another.
For ages 4–8

One ribbon. One act of kindness. One way to carry hope.
