S. Haddox ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Very well written and the illustrations are done in such a way that they are soft and muted perfect for supporting the story. This story can help children that feel lonely or sad giving them the positive affirmation that they can do and be whatever they want and not feel so alone. I purchased this for my PreK class and it is a very popular book in our Reading Area!
T. Wright ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love the simple wording and colorful pictures. I also loved that this book teaches kids to use their imagination and any the end they find their family and they are no longer lonely, but they with their family and they are loved!
I’ve purchased several copies to share with friends and family. Everyone has those “lonely” days, and these books beautifully share ways to find yourself in those quiet moments. Perfect for ages young and old!
