Notes

General Note
"A Paula Wiseman Book."
General Note
"The following account is a story that Johnnie Wallen related to me shortly before his death at the age of eight-five in January 2010. He had received 2 Purple Hearts, 3 Bronze Stars, 1 Bronze Arrowhead, The Asiatiac-Pacific Campaign Medal, The Philippine Liberation Medal, The Korean Service Medal, The Combat Badge, A Good Conduct Medal, The World War II Victory Medal... But to Johnnie Wallen the medal that meant the most was a small silver heart on a chain."
Description
Tucky Jo was known as the "Kid from Kentucky" when he enlisted in the army at age fifteen. Being the youngest recruit in the Pacific during World War II was tough. But he finds a friend in a little girl who helps him soothe his bug bites, and he gets to know her family and gives them some of his rations. Although the little girl doesn't speak English, Tucky Jo and Little Heart share the language of kindness. Many years later, Tucky Jo and Little Heart meet again, and an act of kindness is returned when it's needed the most in this touching picture book based on a true story.
