An innocent bedtime story shared once upon a time between father and daughter has become the cornerstone of a new children’s book series that is intended to brighten the days of pediatric cancer patients.
Come September, Ridgewood resident and author Anthony Fasano hopes to share the invented world of Purpee the Purple Dragon and his friends with young readers who are undergoing treatment or are required to stay in hospitals.
The books tell the story of Purpee, who along with Stinky the Skunk, twin turtles Shelly and Sunny, and Smoky the Dragon, head out on a whirlwind of adventures.
Each story, Fasano said, includes excitement but also offers moral lessons for the young audience.
The make-believe characters and stories as well as the concept to deliver them to sick children, he said, was actually a family decision.
Like many dads, Fasano told tall tales to his three children in an effort to guide them to sleep.
