This is the true story of 6 street kids who have no voice since most of them are illiterate. Heroes in their own way with us only giving them a voice... Serge Bellemare This is the story of 6 street boys in the barrio/slum of Nigua, Dominican Republic. Not "observed" as by a reporter but "Lived" among them. It is their story for which they have no words and no means to tell. I am their voice, since they are "voice-less". R. J. Wild In the book "Little Heroes" you will meet a simple 10-year-old shoe shine boy. Soon you will learn that there is nothing simple about him. In just a few pages you will understand just how special this shoe-shine boy is. Then meet a Gringo that doesn't "act" like a Gringo. See how their lives become inter-twined and how they give each other hope. Hope for a decent future and decent life. Meet the shoe-shine boy's family and friends. Learn how one man and one boy can change the lives of so many by simply giving them a little hope and a dream. You will laugh and you will cry. Simply because you have bought this book you will know that you have helped their dreams become reality. Derek Stanley
