Here's a taste of Johnny's book

Marco was born in Italy,
Came to America when he was just four.
Marco's English was not that good,
But he wanted to learn more.

At the table, he stared down in the soup,
His parents filled with so much love.
Then suddenly at that moment,
Came a miracle from high above.

Co-written by Todd Civin, author of more than 70 books under the Civin Media Relations Publishing company and illustrated by artist Jason Boucher, the trio plans to collaborate on several additional titles in the future.
