 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 2006. The chat will be hosted by ParentHoodPlace.com. Tim donated five autographed copies recently, at the March of Dimes Prematurity Awareness Day luncheon. By the way, the "thumbs-up" girl, Elizabeth, is now a happy, healthy 11-year-old doing well in fifth grade. She enjoys swimming, martial arts and softball!  "Miracle Birth Stories..." features members of the "Preemie Stars," a group of preemies and their parents that annually do "Walk America" for the March of Dimes. Click on the March of Dimes icon below for information about the organization's full-scale campaign to raise awareness about extreme prematurity! Meanwhile, we are working on providing updates about what these miracle babies are up to these days!!!

"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
