BOOK AWARD WINNERS, Award B10, Children's
Books, First Place: He Said Yes, by Kelly Ann Lynch, Paulist Press,
Mahwah, NJ "This is an inspiring true story of a modern-day hero, his
remarkable life and untimely death on 9/11. He was an ordinary boy from
Brooklyn who became an extraordinary Franciscan priest and beloved New York
City Fire Department chaplain. The story is told in a most engaging way that
continually leads us to read on. The illustrations represent the text in a
wonderful way, soft and colorful, painting a picture of Fr. Mychal’s heart
and soul. The text itself, gentle yet strong, truly conveys the character of
Father Mychal and his love for the Lord."
