Everyone should own a copy of this book; the messages in it transcend age or format. The illustrations are charming, the characters are sweet, but, of course, the best thing about it is the messaging. No matter what is going on in your life, there's something in here that you need to hear and that will speak directly to you. For me, that quote was: "Sometimes all you hear about is the hate, but there is more love in this world than you can possible imagine". And I just really needed to remember that. It made me cry, even.

This book is more of a collection of thoughts than a cohesive story, but that was just what I needed. I will certainly read this to my kids one day and I hope everyone has the chance to read it for themselves.
