MG (Ret) Alan Salisbury’s '58 first foray into children’s literature, The Legend of Ranger, the Reindeer Who Couldn’t Fly, was recently published by Jabberwocky Books in Minneapolis. It’s being hailed as a “heartwarming and inspirational story with an important message for children about the power of believing in yourself to overcome obstacles and accomplish your dreams.” The 50-page book is beautifully illustrated with “whimsical” art by Roberta Baird. In addition to the book, Salisbury also composed a companion song, “Dream and Believe,” which is packaged on a CD by the same name along with an audio book version of the story. Nashville’s Mary Allen does the vocals with what musicBlog’s Matthew Forss describes as “a rousing melody, perfectly fitting for children of all ages,” awarding it “five North stars out of five!”In a unique move, Salisbury’s Opus One Studios philanthropic venture is donating 100% of the project’s profits to the Antonia J. Giallourakis Endowed Fund for Children with Cancer at MassGeneral Hospital for Children. Antonia, the late wife of classmate Bill Giallourakis, ’58, was an art teacher who developed an innovative art therapy program for children with cancer, prior to losing her own battle with the disease.
