Customer Reviews

This book was BEAUTIFUL

I thought that Lisa Thompson wrote an amazing book. The deep subjects she was able to touch and reach children was so extraordinary and truly made this book shine like a gloriously bright light jar. I recommend this book to anyone who was into Shouting At The Rain, Fish In A Tree and When You Reach Me.
