Customer Reviews

Here is to hoping you'll own this book and read it to your children.

What a beautiful book! Not only is the photographs well done but the text is also just as beautiful! The author said that this book came came about after 9/11 and trying to calm her son and give him hope that life would get better. Photos themselves tell stories. Two photos tell the story of two families from Alabama who lost everything from Hurricane Katrina, another family from New Orleans, Sri Lanka and East Timor. The photos are simple but strikingly beautiful. So far my favorite pages are: Hope is sad tears flowing, making room for joy. Hope is remembering that you are no alone. Many others feel just the way you do. Many others care. I hope you purchase this book for yourself, for a special child or as a gift. I hope that this book is read, enjoyed and that whom ever is reading and listening takes this book to heart.
