Customer Reviews

It's good to remember

I love this book because it reminds me of how sweet, magical, and all too brief childhood is. I've read it to and now with my daughter and we laugh at the specifics of the role reversal fantasy. The soft illustrations complement the gentle goodness of the story. It's a favorite at our house.

another gem by this author

This book is beautifully crafted, with extremely clever dialog. The author clearly demonstrates her understanding of the bond between mother and daughter. The book evokes wonderful images of a warm moment shared with a child. The illustrations too lend a great deal to the story.
