Review(s):

"How refreshing to read a book without ulterior motives! Ala Shel Silverstein, this delightful story can be read to very young children; with the caveat that it should be shared with all age groups. It would be a great "story starter" for anyone. I plan to share this book with the children in my life. Thank you, Nancy, for sharing your book with me!" - Sally Metz

"Beautifully illustrated, this charming story delightfully illustrates the need we all have to be content, even joyous, in ourselves."  - Nancy Locker
