One Small Sparrow by Jeff Leeland is a beautiful true story by the father of a little boy, who at seven months was discovered to have leukemia. He needed a bone marrow transplant. There was a perfect match but the insurance company refused to pay the cost of the transplant and the family had no possible way to pay.

This story is about a 13 year old mentally handicapped boy who started a fund by giving everything that he had and how an entire junior high student body got behind a drive to promote the fund for the lifesaving operation. It is also about a brave little six year old girl who loved her brother enough to endure an operation for him.

"His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me."
