PR From The Heart

For many children, starting a new school year can quickly feel like a race to keep up academically and socially. In this month’s installment of PR From The Heart’s Empowering Reads for Kids, John Masiulionis joins Chelsea Lovell in-studio on News 4 Buffalo’s Daytime Buffalo to spotlight Dr. Eileen Sherman’s award-winning Friesian and Friends series—Zeus and Ziggy: First Friends, Zeus and Ziggy: From the Ground Up, and Zeus and Ziggy: First Ride. Together, they explore how these heartfelt books teach kids patience, self-trust, and perseverance at their own unique pace.

What if every child believed in their own goodness—and chose to see it in others, too? In this inspiring Daytime Buffalo feature, two powerful stories, A Magical Summer Day and Pearl, help young readers embrace kindness, resilience, and the courage to grow through life’s challenges.

Some of the biggest challenges children face are the ones we can’t see. In this special feature on Daytime Buffalo, Dr. Suzy Gray’s stories help families start important conversations around autism, anxiety, and emotional understanding—empowering kids to feel seen, supported, and understood.
