505 0  Notes from Mattie's publisher, "The award-winning poetry 
       of young Mattie Stepanek has touched the lives of hundreds
       and thousands of people. Mattie writes movingly and 
       courageously about life and death, love and loss, faith 
       and hope, innocence and joy. His struggle with a rare form
       of muscular dystrophy has given him wisdom and insight, 
       and his life, work, and message have been recognized by 
       appearances on Oprah, The Today Show, and Good Morning 
       America, and profiles in The Washington Post and The New 
       York Times." And from Jimmy Carter, former U.S. President,
       "With wisdom and uncomplicated vision, Mattie reminds us 
       how easy it is to forgive others, to find something 
       amazing even in the most trivial things and to celebrate 
       the little gifts of life each day."
