  Heartsongs is a collection of inspirational poetry by Mattie Stepanek, an 11-year-old boy who suffers from muscular dystrophy. With a universal message of hope and peace, Stepanek's poems have captured hearts and minds around the world. Matthew Joseph Thaddeus Stepanek, known to his friends as Mattie , began writing poetry and short stories at the age of three. Some of his poetry explores the uncensored reality of living with a rare form of muscular dystrophy and with the grief associated with the loss of his three siblings to the same life-threatening condition. But most of them proclaim the innocent hope, profound wisdom and delightful humour of childhood.
