W. Babylon Resident Publishes Children's Book

Preschool owner's book helps children having a hard time away from their parents.

Many Babylon Village and West Babylon residents may know Midge Leavey for her preschool on Little East Neck Road, but now she can add one more accomplishment next to teacher – children's author.

Leavey's first book, The Missing Mommy Cure, is dedicated to helping children overcome separation anxiety, which is often seen in children ages three to five as they are left at a daycare or school for the first time.

The book is available at several retailers such as Amazon [digital and softcover] and Barnes & Noble starting at $3.99 on Kindle and $15.70 in Paperback.
