 g&gt\;About &lt\;em&gt\;No Matter the Distance&lt\;/em&gt\;:&lt\;/strong&g
 t\;\nPenny Rooney has cystic fibrosis\, which means she has to do breathin
 g treatments to help her lungs work. Some days\, it seems like her CF is t
 he only thing Penny knows about herself for sure. From her point of view\,
  everyone around her can make sense of their place in the world. So why ca
 n�t Penny even begin to write a poem about herself for school?\nThen\, d
 uring spring break\, Penny spots something impossible in the creek behind 
 her house: a dolphin\, far from its home. Penny names the dolphin Rose and
  feels an immediate bond\, since the dolphin is also sick. But as Penny�
 s CF worsens\, she realizes that Rose needs to return to her pod to get be
 tter. Will Penny be able to help guide Rose back to the ocean\, even if it
  means losing her friend?\n*cr* *yani* *Elsa* *ani*.\nhttps://dpl.libnet.i
