A Children's Book Series · By Louise Ashby

Mary Anne
Silver.

The girl with the silver hand — and the story every child who has ever felt different has been waiting for.

Coming Soon
The Story

The thing she was teased for
is where her power lives.

Mary Anne Silver is different, and the children at school make sure she knows it. She has a silver hand — impossible to hide, impossible to ignore. Every child who has ever been singled out for the thing they couldn't change knows exactly how that feels.

But Mary Anne's story doesn't go the way the teasing says it should. Because the hand that made her a target holds a secret: it was never a flaw. It's a gift. And when she stops asking "how do I hide this?" and starts asking "what is this for?" — everything changes. The girl they teased becomes the one they turn to. The difference becomes the healing.

"Silver is what things become
when they go through fire."

Written for children — and for the grown-ups reading aloud who needed this story thirty years ago. Because most of us spend decades unlearning the belief that different means wrong. Mary Anne is here so the next generation never learns it in the first place.
