That nighttime “prayer of gratitude” finality to it all truly was the perfect conclusion to sweet little Michael’s story! Thank you so much for your kind words.

Latest Review: Duplicity by Fin C Gray

Kids will find this book lovable with the way the author recreated the font colors alternating from black to white and the picture illustrations used too. Even as adults at one point or the other we crave for a reassurance that what or where we moving to is a good move. I totally relate with this storyline.

This looks like a very sweet book to keep in mind for little ones starting first grade or maybe moving to a new school. It's nice to know that the book has some diversity. Thanks for the review!

My first day of school was tough, and I am sure I would have benefitted from reading this book. You wrote a lovely review that captures the message of this book fully. Thank you!

The author did a lovely job bringing the message to life and you’re right, even as adults, we all need some heavenly reassurance sometimes that we are headed in the right direction. Thank you!

Most definitely, this little book would be perfect for either transition, and I was greatly impressed by the conscious choice of the author to introduce an equally-diverse group of characters. Thanks for stopping by!

Mine was too, and not just for the 1st grade. I have a sneaky suspicion that there are a lot of little kids out there who experienced feelings of their own anxious dread. Such a helpful children's book for all ages! Thank you.
