This book is beautifully illustrated and should makes a good character read for any small child. I find it especially appropriate for a grammar stage child about to venture to a new environment. Whether it is a move, new grade, new school, or what... This is a good inspiration of keeping hold of what had made you strong to stay strong.

Review copy, honest opinion.
