- For Kyle's First Playdate, Weston Media Contact & Review Copies: Brainstorm2go, Inc. Sherri Pfefer, 954-651-3505 Sherri@brainstorm2go.com Kyle's First Playdate, the follow-up story to Kyle's First Crush, continues the heartwarming story of a little boy's crush on a beautiful girl who melts his heart. The book, written by author Leah Orr, is second in a series that follows

this young couple through their school days and playdates.

The beautiful girl featured in the story, Ashley Elizabeth, is not a fictional character - it's Orr's daughter, who was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) - or as she calls it, "six sticks for breakfast!" - prior to birth. "I wanted to share the joy and importance of young love and great friendship, while at the same time address a disease that affects many children as well as adults all over the world," said Orr. "I am donating all the proceeds to the CF Foundation and will continue to write one book every year until a cure is found!"

Kyle's First Playdate follows Kyle on his first playdate with his very special girl friend, Ashley Elizabeth. It chronicles their fun-filled Saturday adventure together. The beauty of the series is that they are told through Kyle's eyes, a sweet, young romantic.

Orr's book is a family project, not only featuring daughter Ashley Elizabeth, but also her two other daughters, Aly and Camy. The illustrations in both books were created by Orr's mother, Josephine Lepore, "Grandma Josie."

Between profits from Orr's first book and participation in local CF walks, Orr has raised over $250,000 towards research and development of CF, a disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of nearly 70,000 children and adults worldwide.

"Children born today with cystic fibrosis are expected to live much longer than in the past, and scientists, researchers, and the CF Foundation are hopeful for a cure by 2012," added Orr.

The books retail for $14.99 and are available through AuthorHouse, barnesandnobles.com and amazon.com. "For those looking to give a gift that keeps on giving, these books make perfect presents." More information can be found at www.kylesfirstplaydate.com.
