Cynthia Kern OBrien is a 1st place NFPW (National Federation of Press Women) and 1st Place CPW (California Press Women) Award Winner. She is the Author of Marky the Magnificent Fairy, A Disability Story of Courage, Kindness, and Acceptance. She is also the Author of her debut picture book series, “A True Story by Granny.”

OBrien finds inspiration for her writing in her grandchildren and their worldview, aspiring to teach young readers caring and kindness for people and animals of all stripes.

Marky the Magnificent Fairy follows a young fairy who is teased for looking different and teaches acceptance and compassion. It is about diversity, inclusion, bullying, disabilities, kindness, courage, believing in yourself, self-love, confidence, acceptance, positivity, and compassion. No matter what age you are. This book is written with the intent of eliciting back and forth discussions with children at home or in the classroom.

I am deeply honored to win this award on behalf of all the Marky’s out there waiting to live out their Hopes and Dreams!
