Little Orion and his Granny

By Lasandra Powell

Overview


I decided to write a book showing a child being able to live out his life without being held back due to his disability. I wanted to shine more light on the kids that face disabilities and may not feel as comfortable in their own skin and living out they life. Many kids get picked on due to their disabilities and be cut short of having an opportunity at a fair chance due to having low self-esteem and not enough belief and drive in themselves. Growing up I seen my mom struggle with accepting that she was hearing impaired and worried about what others would think and say about her so dealing with that as I child and growing up to have a child of my own I never wanted him to grow up and feel as if he would have to feel the same so I raised him with confidence and high self-esteem and to know he could do anything he put his mind too.

Hi, my name is Lasandra Powell. I was born and raised in Florida. I'm a mother of four handsome boys. My second oldest son Orion has partial hearing loss which also has some effects on his speech. I've always wanted to write my own book and was inspired by my son to be able to fulfill that dream of minds. Encouraging and uplifting others has always been a passion of minds so writing this book and being to tell my son story has also given others some encouragement to not allow their disability to hold them back in life but take charge and stay in control.
