The Long Cutie is a wonderful book written by author Dan Alatorre about his 3 year old daughter whom he refers to as Savvy.
Savvy was born with a little known condition referred to as LQT (Long QT) which affects one's heartbeat. It is a life-long condition; some are diagnosed as newborns while others are diagnosed later in life when their heart gives them trouble.
I very much enjoyed reading this story and reading about all the cute things this 3 year old does but even more, I learned so much about an illness that I've never heard of before.
The stories are interspersed with true tales by those suffering from this condition and some are quite sad. This is a life long illness that those affected by it must learn to live with.
I give this book 5 stars and highly recommend it to any reader, not only because of the sweet nature of this 3 year old but more importantly about the importance of this rare condition.
Pick up a copy today at Amazon. It is definitely a must-read.
