The Story of the Dragonfly brings hope to members of the community who suffer from the loss of a loved one, through touching prose and endearing illustrations.
A Tribute to Officer Amy Sorrells Caprio
“When not handling a call for service or investigating a crime, Amy could often be found spending time with the children at a local elementary school,” wrote Major Deanna L. Chemelli, Baltimore County Police Department, who worked with Amy. “Amy would read books with the children, play with them at recess, or assist them in the cafeteria during lunch time… Amy was described as a loyal, kind, hardworking, inspiring, dedicated, selfless, and community-oriented police officer.”
A Gift to the Community
“On one level, this book is an encouraging story about a wonderful girl who grew up to do great things for others,” said Kevin Atticks, director of Apprentice House Press at Loyola University Maryland, the book’s publisher. He notes that the book serves the community by providing a pathway for children to manage the grief of losing a loved one. “It’s a service to the community, a fitting tribute while honoring Amy’s legacy.”
