Praise for this book
You could dip into this anthology anywhere and find something interesting...excellent.-- "NOW Toronto"
Patrick's Wish is simply written for children ages 7-10, filled with beautiful photos of Patrick taken throughout his life. Patrick's Wish ends with a list of 9 important things Patrick would want the reader to know about HIV and AIDS. These 9 simple statements constitute the most effective AIDS-HIV awareness education effort for elementary age children to date. Patrick's Wish will help Patrick's wish, to find a cure for HIV/AIDS, come true.-- "Midwest Book Review"
Mitchell and Upjohn aim to cultivate tolerance and curb ignorance of HIV/AIDS, and in 24 pages they do so admirably.-- "Counterpoise"
(This book) puts a human face on an awful disease. The book also gives factual information about HIV/AIDS, and dispels many myths.-- "Resource Links"
