Ava's Wish

This book was written to honor Ava Grace, who became a "helper angel" at just 6-years-old. Ava Grace died in a car crash just one day following kindergarten graduation. Through the miracle of organ donation, Ava Grace saved lives. This book will help explain organ donation through the concept of a "helper angel" to other children.
