Sammie Hasen,19, a sophomore in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University, has just published her first book entitled, “Long Live the Little Ones.”
The book follows the dreams of 15 children currently battling illness such as cystic fibrosis, heart transplants, and pediatric cancer, and five survivors who followed their dreams.
Hasen was inspired to write the book following a life-changing conversation she had five years ago with a nine-year-old boy who had stage three brain cancer.
