Let's Go, Darby! - (Hardback or Cased Book)

The Hospital for Sick Children was Georgie's only hope...Based on a true story. It's 1898. Ten-year-old Georgie Titus has clubfoot. He can't walk. He can't go to school. Kids in his small town laugh and call him names. Georgie hears about a new children's hospital in Toronto where they "perform miracles." He is determined to go. But how? The city is forty miles away. Let's Go, Darby! tells the remarkable story of the harrowing journey Georgie makes with his dog, Darby, landing on the doorstep of the Hospital for Sick Children. During his months-long stay at the hospital and its summer home on Toronto Island, miracles do happen, mostly unexpected. With the help of his beloved nurse and first-ever friends, Georgie gains the courage and confidence he needs to take the next big steps in his life. Join Georgie and fellow patients on their journey from despair to hope and eventual healing. Let's Go, Darby! conveys important messages of inclusion, connection and friendship in a fun, kid-centred way. A fictionalized account for middle grade readers of the early days of Toronto's famous SickKids hospital, it is a gratifying Canadian story. LINDAROSENBAUM.CA
