Three-year-old Lucy Pothier, who is Shawni’s adorable youngest daughter pictured on the cover of this book, was recently diagnosed with a rare syndrome called Bardet Biedl which, among other things, will cause blindness between the ages of 9 and 15 unless new research finds a way to intervene. In her behalf, the authors, Shawni (mother) and Linda (grandmother), will donate all royalties from the book to the Foundation for Blind Children and other research organizations that are working on her issues. Our heartfelt thanks goes to you for joining our cause through the purchase of this book as well as to Deseret Book as they offer a 20% discount for online purchases.
