In reply to Claire. I'm glad you like the book list. Thanks for telling me about the typos. It takes a village to proofread! :)

Thank you for this list! As I am going down the list, putting books on hold at the library, I am overwhelmed by the summaries of the stories. So much people have been through! So many gifts, so much suffering, so much courage! (Also, I noticed a couple typos in the summary of the book about the surgeon, Tiny Stitches? An apostrophe and a pronoun that made it a little confusing)

Hi, Erica. You might want to add two picture books to this list. They are White Water and Granddaddy's Turn, both by Michael Bandy.
