When this book was published in a larger format, it sold out almost immediately. That’s because its premise is irresistible. On the occasion of his son’s birth, attorney and sports journalist Charles Acquisto wrote to the world’s most successful and respected people to ask what they would say to a brand new child about to make his way in the world. The letters he got back from sports stars, celebrities, politicians, and others-including Pierce Brosnan, Sugar Ray Leonard, and several American presidents-were so poignant, clever, and wise that they’ve been embraced by people at all different stages of life.
