★★★★★ “I’ve read several of Anna St. Claire’s books, and when I saw she wrote her first children’s book, I purchased it immediately. I have four young grandsons whose ages range from 9 to 1 years old. I, like so many of us can still remember our first true friendship. The wonders of finding that one person you can trust, depend on, and find kindness in outside our own family environment. I’ve read this book to three of my four grandsons, with the oldest one reading it himself. Not only has the book provided a little bit of magical entertainment, but also provided a lesson that relates to kindness and compassion goes a long way in life. This is a wonderful book and I encourage everyone to buy it and read it to your children.” ~ susan
