A sweet story for someone you love to the sky and back. You know what I love? That every morning, no matter what, you always say: #147;Today is going to be a beautiful day.” So begins one doll’s tender tribute to her little girl. From playing dress up to finding hidden treasures, these two always have fun because it turns out that what they love most of all is each other. Mimicking the close relationship between a parent and child, this is the perfect #147;I love you book” for the one nearest and dearest to you.
