This is one of the most heartwarming books I've ever read, and even more so because it was written by an 11-year-old boy, Mattie, who has been writing poetry and short stories since he was three years old. Some of his poetry explores the uncensored reality of living with a rare form of muscular dystrophy and with the grief associated with the loss of his three siblings to the same life-threatening condition. But most of them proclaim the innocent hope, profound wisdom, and delightful humor of childhood. A New York Times Bestseller.

Release planned for Monday, June 16, 2003 at University Of Utah Hospital, Main Entrance Lobby in Salt Lake City, Utah USA.

Look for it in the reading material by the seating area in the main entrance lobby.
