A beautiful book...

This is a beautiful, helpful book. I have a eight year old daughter who continues to deal with issues of adoption, divorce, remarriage, new siblings, etc. We found this book in the public library shortly before her Dad got re-married last year. At first she was reluctant to read it with me, since she has struggled with the issues that come with blended families (while simultaneously loving her stepfather and siblings very much and also loving her stepmother-to-be.) The book has beautiful illustrations, which got her attention first. Once we got started, we read and re-read the book over and over, and it is a book we talk about often. I need to buy it for her to own forever. It is a book that deals very honestly with the sadness that comes with losing a dad and the initial fears and then wonderful discoveries that come with allowing a new father to enter one's life. I highly recommend this book.
