Are plushies magical? Are they capable of solving children's social issues, medical problems, homelessness, poverty, and other concerns? If you were to ask seven-year-old Christian Timber, the response to these questions would be yes. Christian believed that when he carried his Doc plush with him to see his cardiologist to get the final diagnoses relating to his heart condition, the outcome was going to be good. Christian was correct. Doctor Rodriquez gave Christian a clean bill of health. Of course, Christian credited his good report to Doc, the plush his grandma had sewn for him. It was at the doctor's office that Christian met seven-year-old Alayah. Christian noticed the way that Alayah was staring at Doc as if to say, "I wish I had my own plush." This observation prompted Christian to start his own "Plush Mission." Are plush toys magical? Are they able to do the impossible? What was the Plush Mission? To find out, you must read "Plush" for yourself. And maybe, just maybe . . .
