MY REVIEW
This was a cute book with many different themes surrounding kindness, forgiveness and many other messages. It was a good read but for some reason the words didn't incite much inspiration and didn't paint any mental images to help build a connection to the messages expressed throughout.
The illustrations were just okay for me. I was expecting a little more in the way of the book evoking emotions, but I felt disconnected from the story, which was a shame as I liked the themes. Nonetheless, it was still a good read.
