A Letter to Jimmy

Beginning with the words "Dear Jimmy, " Henry Viscardi, Jr. talks directly to youth every-where. And what he has to say, to them and to young "disabled" Jimmy, should prove inspiring not only to all youngsters but to their parents, to teachers, and to those of us who are involved with man's humanity to man. With warmth, yet strictly unsentimental, "Hank" Viscardi embarks on some pretty plain talk. Who is immune from suffering? What about disability and the rest of the world? What about the attitudes of the so called normal towards cripples? What about the "handicapped" child himself -victory or defeat? How about career, school, marriage? These are just some of the practical realities discussed openly in a straight from the shoulder manner in A LETTER TO JIMMY.
