I love this book!!! I have been looking for it for awhile on ebay. I found it and gave it to my 7 year old son for Christmas. I will continue to read this book to him and to other children that I might have in the future. The book holds real meaning and I work in a nursing home so it really makes me happy when i read it cause unfortuneately that is NOT always the case with elderly people.
This book makes me cry every time I read it and is my favorite kids book right behind "The Giving Tree" and "Stellaluna". It's a short book but beautifully written and if I ever have a son I hope to give it to him one day.
