ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

This is such an exciting day for me as I proudly announce the release of Unlimited: Renee Bruns Set a Guinness World Record, written by Virginia De Francisco and illustrated by Svitlana Holovchenko.

Unlimited is a children’s picture book that is about my dream of seeing the world. It’s a book written for children (and adults) to inspire, to empower, and to cultivate unimaginable dreams. It’s a story about a little girl who dreamt of seeing the world and years later she wheeled herself around the globe. That little girl is me.

But the book itself is the product of a big dream too. Shortly after I received my Guinness World Record, I received a message from Virginia. She was inquiring if she could write a children’s book about my story. I had never thought of writing a children’s book, nor did I have any idea about how to do such a thing!

We spoke virtually several times, and as Virginia poured over every story she could find about me online, she turned thousands of words and stories into something that will touch children around the world. I knew after her first draft that her artistic ability to touch people’s hearts was one-of-a-kind.

Virginia invited Svitlana to illustrate her book, and there couldn’t have been a better artist to put into color the beauty of the world that I’ve experienced. You truly cannot understand what artistic talent is until you see her work in this book!

Finally, we knew that we wanted to not only reach children, but we wanted to touch the world in a special way. We asked Free Wheelchair Mission to write the forward to this beautiful book and committed to their mission of providing wheelchairs to people in developing countries.

This story is about a dream – my dream. But it’s also Virginia’s dream. And Svitlana’s dream. It’s a product of three women – all strangers turned friends from around the world – who set out to do something big. To do something positive. To do something that will change a child’s life. This book is the dream.
