History Lesson:

The stories of Peter Rabbit start as a letter to a friend's child.

Jacqueline Kennedy's son Patrick Bouvier Kennedy died of infant respiratory distress syndrome. Because the Kennedy's son died, they found a way to help babies. I am sorry that he died, but the research saved both of my children who were born with the same problems.
