From the theme of who you are is exactly right, to the nature, legend and spiritual themes running through this story. It hits on lots of levels. I especially love a peaceful book when reading to littles. It helps them slow down and think about the world. Something very precious in our lives.”Linda Grit – Retired School Librarian”Amazing book!
