illustrations were eye catching and kept my little ones engaged and the writing was easy to follow and grasp.

I especially appreciated the in-depth, detailed information for parents in the back matter. With actual examples of how to approach emotional situations and help a child deal with what they may not understand, it presents research and studies on mental health in a direct, easy-to-understand way.

It is a warm and uplifting story that will bring a smile to young and old readers alike.
