general review from reader
I was privileged to be one of the first to read this exciting book not just a children’s book but also a family book to be shared by parents and children alike. I was mesmerized from the very beginning by the physical and explicit detail of the characters involved in this story! I was immediately visualizing each one, as they seemed to come alive for me.

I must say being a parent, grandparent and now a great grandparent, I was excited and moved by the love, compassion, honesty, morality, kindness and generosity that are portrayed.

It is so wonderful to see someone has captured the basic honest emotions that have slowly crept out of our society over time. I believe this book will touch people’s lives in a very positive manner.

Letting children be children and letting adults feel the excitement and mystery children feel when they are allowed to be children
