Editorial Review: The celebrated child Mattie J.T. Stepanek continues his internationally inspiring poetry with Hope Through Heartsongs. For those who haven't followed Stepanek's rise to fame, this young phenomenon writes poetry that is wise beyond his years and has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and Larry King Live. Indeed, as Gary Zukav marvels in the book's foreword, Stepanek's wisdom seems to extend beyond what most human beings master in a lifetime. "A heartsong is something deep inside each of us," Mattie Stepanek explains in his introduction. "It's our sense of why we are here and how we can keep going. It's like a purpose. It may be to live as a mommy or a daddy, or a firefighter or a delivery person, or a child with a disability who teaches others about patience and love and acceptance."As a child living with muscular dystrophy who has lost all three of his siblings to the same disease, Stepanek knows the landscape of loss and grief. How easy it would be to wallow in...

Inspiring, 2006-08-03
Mattie's Heartsongs are a gift from God to all of us, through the simplicity of a child's writings. The poems should be read one by one, giving time to absorb the depth of meaning. Anyone, any age, who needs "HOPE" in their lives can only be inspired by reading this book.

Mattieýs Light and Words Will Live Forever, 2004-07-14
I just learned of Mattie's physical passing, and I must salute this brave, caring, and genuine soul for his profound work, inner strength, words of heart, soul and wisdom, as well as his example to triumph over adversity.
Mattie's work did this. His poetry is a beacon in the dark that will endure forever. His spirit is priceless. His heartfelt compassion is an everlasting beacon in the dark for those who have lost all hope of their own.
May all who are suffering find solace in the work and words of a child who wrote from the depths of his heart to uplift the lives of others.
Mattie's beautiful work will certainly live on forever.

Mattie Words Have HEART HOPE and INSPIRATION, 2004-07-05
The work and words of Mattie are beautifully inspiring. Much more so than the unnecessary negative commentary to tear down the hope of a child, along with all others Mattie's work is inspiring to keep on, despite tremendous obstacles, illness and pain.
Mattie's poetry is heartfelt, genuine, and filled with promise for those who may have lost all hope of their own.
KEEP GOING MATTIE! Your work is beautiful, inspiring, needed, and YOU are a treasure.
