Chatting With Sherri welcomes author Brenda E. Cortez!

 

Brenda E. Cortez donated her kidney to another mom 14 years ago and has since had a passion for raising awareness for organ donation. This passion has also led to her writing children’s books on the topic to help children understand better and relate.

Brenda believes in being kind and helping others so she created her book character around that topic. Howl the Owl™ is character in Brenda’s books and his name stands for Help Others With Love! Visit howltheowl.com for more information about Brenda, her books and her mission.

Howl the Owl is a plush animal as well, and has been traveling the world with families who have been hosting him. He also has his regular Facebook page to highlight all things Howl, as well as Instagram and Twitter.  He is a mascot now too! The mascot has been traveling with me to different organ donation events this year in Vegas, Iowa and Ohio.
