| The
Power of a Wish by Ali Lauren Spizman |
 |
|
Faced with the trauma and heartache of a life-threatening medical condition, children and their families discover a ray of hope in the light of a wish. The stories and letters within these pages provide a glimpse into the amazing transformation inspired by the gifts of joyful memories, time, and love when a child's wish is granted through the Make-A-Wish Foundation® . Wish kids and their families describe in letters of thanks their special day and the powerful impact that the wishes—and the people who grant them—have on their daily lives and their hope for the future. Celebrities and heroes from all walks of life share their life-changing experiences in making wishes come true, and the profound effect that these courageous children have had on them. While the granted wish does not last forever, what it creates—vivid, fun memories, family bonding, and hope for the future does live on in the hearts of the wish children. And that, we celebrate. Through The Power of a Wish, you will be touched
by how in even the darkest of times a cycle of love, hope, and
gratitude is born. 200 pp.
"Dozens of uplifting stories make
for the kind of reading that inspires us all to do what we can to
make wishes come true for children everywhere." |
