Review

This is a great bridging book that young and old can share and enjoy together. This is a story of an autumn tradition, a beloved family member and healing from a great loss. Told in prose, each character tells their view of the story in separate poems, but they all link together to make up this wonderful story and family. It is well illustrated - bringing life and feeling to the poems and overall story.

Readers young and old will enjoy this lovely book.

Overall Book Score: excellent
