"This children’s book is simply adorable. The author did an amazing job conveying a child’s impulsive nature to want but also, how we should ALL consider the impact our actions have on others. The poetic writing flows from the lips and makes your heart swoon at the end. In addition, the illustrations are rich in color, pure fun and equally impressive. This is a “must have” in any child’s library."
