Themes of grief, loss, and empowerment were presented in her second book, "The Macaroni Necklace and The Pink Panda Bear, A Story About Saying Goodbye" written and published by Kathleen in 2017. The current book project, "It's Hard To Be Different and Not Easy To Be Small....", is the second collaboration for Kathleen and her cousin, Patty Fleckenstein, as the illustrator. The guiding principle for Kathleen's writing is to publish books for a positive difference in ourselves, each other, and our world.Patty has lived by and with her art throughout her life. With an eclectic approach to visual arts, she is comfortable working in water colors, acrylics, oils, as well as pen and ink sketching. Patty's work includes the full gamut of painting genres. Expressions of her art are seen in her commercial and creative work, both of which garner attention on social media and marketing sites. Her drawings for this project exemplify how illustrations are key to bringing the written word to life. This particular children's book offered a unique opportunity for a second collaboration with her cousin, Kathleen, as the author.
