Comment from the author
"I had been afraid that perhaps in Call It Courage,the concept of spiritual courage might be too adult for children,but the reception of this book has reaffirmed a belief I have long held:that children have imagination enough to grasp any idea,and respond to it,if it is put to them honestly and without a patronizing pat on the head."[1]
