"Wishes Are Medicine: How Make-A-Wish Gave Me Hope And Helped Me Heal, written by wish kid Jamie Heath of Barre, VT, and illustrated by Leonard Kenyon of Arlington, VT, tells the story of Jamie's recovery from a brain aneurysm and how Make-A-Wish played an important role in her recovery. With bright, beautiful illustrations, Wishes Are Medicine follows along as wish kid Jamie, accompanied by her pet turtle, Bob, learns not only to walk and read again, but regains hope and thrives in the face of her condition thanks to her wish to travel from her home in Barre, Vermont to swim with sea turtles in Hawaii." --vermont.wish.org.
