Enchanting . . . Full of hope and love
Sunday Post

We enjoyed the easy-to-follow story, and its sweet, heartwarming message about being brave, asking for advice and embracing change – even if you don’t know what the future holds. As an added bonus, it’s pretty to look at, with beautiful illustrations by award-winning illustrator Daniel Egneus
