Eli is a brave little boy with a heart that does not work the way it should.
When his mom calls him a superhero, Eli is not so sure. Superheroes are supposed to be strong, fearless, and unstoppable. Eli is just a kid waiting for a new heart.
In the hospital, Eli begins to see that superheroes are not only found in movies. They are the parents who stay close through every hard day, the doctors and nurses who care for him with steady hands and kind hearts, and a generous stranger who gives him the greatest gift of all, a chance to live and grow stronger.
A Heart for Eli is a tender and uplifting story about courage, care, and the people who help us become strong.
