—Book Nook

This book has AMAZING illustrations and a great imagination from the author! It is about a boy who hears a story from his grandma, and to me that is a great thing! I found this book to be a great children's book. It has all the great components I look for when buying books for my kids. There is sharing and tons of kindness but also a lot of fun and color! The description is detailed but lets them imagine so much also. It's one that we will be reading for a long time coming!

To learn compassion from a child's point of view, also allows the parent, grandparent, or reader to also explore how they too can become more compassionate. What a wonderful engagement of souls!
