The Joy Cart - $15
A rare bone cancer robbed Jarrett Mynear of a normal childhood when he was two years old, but it didn't steal his spirit. The Joy Cart is the story of how an extraordinary boy captivated crowds with his courage, faith and humor in the face of adversity. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, Jarrett got busy. By delivering thousands of toys to sick children, this pint-sized Santa Claus traveled a path that led to national television appearances, prestigious awards and a chance meeting with the President of the United States.
"The Joy Cart is a magnitude of inspiration and witness to helping and reaching out despite pain and devastating turns. Even as an author, I have no words from being humbled other than that every one of us should take Jarrett as our shining example. We, as a public people, should be thanking the author, Mr. Bartlett, for taking the opportunity to share this tremendous character of one who rises above and reaches out to love. Let every one of us examine ourselves and strive to gain more of Jarrett's character in our daily lives. Let us not pass up the oppportunity to read and pass on The Joy Cart!"
