	Powerful Resource for Parents of Preemies...Inspiring Reading for All Families!

Author Timothy Smith is looking forward to another "Live Chat" about "Miracle Birth Stories of Very Premature Babies - Little Thumbs Up!" sometime during 2009. The chat will be hosted by ParentHoodPlace.com. Can you believe the book itself is 10 years old now? All the little miracles are now gearing up for high school or already are there. The "thumbs-up" girl, my daughter Elizabeth (call her Liz, dad!) is starting high school in the fall. She also plays cello and ice hockey among other pursuits. Eclectic. What's cool about writing the book is I still get e-mails from families just discovering the book as a helpful resource. One of those families, from Michigan, sent me a nice note and two neat photos of their daughter, Isabel (I will post the photos on the Web, under My Friends). It would be nice to hear from more of you. I'm glad "Miracle Birth Stories" is still helping people during very uncertain times. Meanwhile, we are working on providing updates about what these miracle babies are up to these days!!!

LITTLE THUMBS UP!
"Miracle Birth Stories of Very Premature Babies - Little Thumbs Up!" *By Timothy Smith*

"This touching book features families from southeast Michigan, Kentucky, New York, Iowa, California, Maryland, Massachusetts and Maine. The family stories are powerful enough to MAKE THIS BOOK WORTHWHILE READING FOR ANYONE!"
-- Anne Valentine Martino, Ann Arbor News

"Tim Smith offers stories of micro-preemies from around the world -- some inspiring, some heart-wrenching."
-- Tracy Boyd, Detroit News

"Each hopeful and inspiring chapter shares the story of a family taken by surprise by a birth months before the mother's due date. As the babies triumph over adversity and are finally released from the NICU, Smith recounts the families' relief and joy."
-- Beth Snider, Metro Parent Magazine

"The writing just blew me away."
--Bill Axtell, March of Dimes

"This is the only book available in which parents, through interviews, 'speak' directly to other parents about their common experiences with premature infants and it is an invaluable guide to navigating the NICU journey. This is a powerful, love-filled, personal resource for parents."
--From the publisher, Bergin & Garvey
