i think i know what you're talking about. I think it was a short story and Steven Spielberg had something to do with it, directed, produced or created the concept
This thread has made me remember a film that I've been trying to find the title of for ages now. hope it's ok to use this thread to describe said film.
It's set in Winter time/Christmas Most likely a 90's film but could be early 00's ( and at a push, maybe later 80's) but I am certain 90's. Follow a really smart kid who has this book but he has health problems. i know he has crutches and some other serious illness. I think the kid befriends a misfit boy who he like touches the heart of and probably teaches his wisdom with this significant book. The kid reminds me of a mix of Macualay Culkin and the kid out of Stuart Little but I don't believe it is either of those. The ending is a possible spoiler but I think I recall it:

Sounds like 'The Mighty' to me. I hope that's the one you were looking for; if not, I'd suggest creating a new thread, as this one's ancient.
