In My Top 5

This is one of my all time favorite books. I have read it to both of my children and I recommend it to anyone who will listen. It is very impactful and an excellent read aloud book to kids.

Slow paced but impactful

I liked the overall growth of Willow Chance, she displays many acts of courageousness and kindness towards others. Even when tragedy strikes, and when she’s falling apart, she never loses hope and never stops holding out for the future.
