What I Came To Tell You

This unique work is written in the spirit of such enduring novels as the Newbery Medal-winning Missing May (Scholastic, 1993) and Because of Winn Dixie (Walker Books, 2001).

Tommy Hays' evocative writing blends with an emotion-laden narrative that goes right to the heart of the reader.

The central theme of What I Came To Tell You is a grief-stricken family learning to forgive one another, and themselves, through one boy's determination, his art and the support of a community.
