Matthew Joseph Thaddeus Stepanek, known to his friends as 'Mattie', has been writing poetry and short stories since the age of three. Mattie suffers from a rare form of muscular dystrophy and some of his poems explore the reality of living with the disease and with the grief associated with the loss of his three siblings to the same life-threatening condition.

Mattie writes movingly and courageously about life and death, love and loss. He teaches us to rejoice in the great gift of life and to find joy in the smallest things. Lyrical and uplifting, Heartsongs proclaims the innocent hope, profound wisdom and delightful humour of childhood.

This edition of Heartsongs is a combined volume of Mattie Stepanek's work, published in the USA as Heartsongs and Journey Through Heartsongs. This edition also includes 16 of Mattie's previously unpublished poems.
