Come With Me
"Come With Me” is a magical journey through the eyes of a child. As the author herself battled cancer, Tracy Ahrens was inspired by the strength and tenderness that young Kate Amato had as she also fought this terrible disease. So lively and innocent, a bright glow shined in Kate’s face. “Come With Me” gently carries the reader through the beauty and wonder of life, even if it is only a dream. Never forget your dreams. They will magically take you to where you want to be.

Kate Amato
Kate Amato passed away at age 11 from Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, an aggressive soft tissue cancer that attacks skeletal muscles. To honor her life, Kate's family created her Foundation with a mission to find safer, smarter and more effective treatments for children with cancer.
Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children. For those who survive, the side effects of treatment cause long-term health problems. The mission of the Kate Amato Foundation is to fund innovative, nontoxic treatments for childhood cancer. The vision of the Foundation is to support innovation that accelerates the pace of progress in pediatric cancer research.
Kate Amato captivated the world through social media with her beautiful smile and spunky spirit. She was a ray of sunshine, warming hearts with her bright and cheerful personality. Kate was intelligent, creative, kind, funny and feisty. She loved having fun, often spearheading projects and performances and instigating adventure at every opportunity. Above all, she was compassionate, often helping others - whether it was rescuing an injured animal, helping a neighbor, comforting a friend, or making cards and gifts for those she loved. She made people happy, just by being Kate.
It was through social media that I learned of Kate's battle with cancer. At the time, I was also fighting breast cancer. Kate passed away from her cancer while I was still fighting mine. Much of Kate's personality reminded me of myself as a child. The art for "Come with Me" had been tucked away in a folder for years. I uncovered the story and realized that the character was like Kate in many ways, including her love of music, adventure, animals and smiling. I named the main character after Kate and feel this book's purpose is to assist the Kate Amato Foundation.
