This is one of my favorite books and I have read it several times before. The story is so sweet and hopeful and uplifting it always brings a smile to my face. Sometimes you need a book that is simple and happy. 

It is aimed at a younger reading level which makes it feel like a light, fast read. I love that the story highlights the importance of character over beauty and that even when you don't understand, your loved ones are looking out for you.

This is a book I will treasure and reread often, and hopefully one day share with my own children.
