Reviews
Touching short story
Michelle Fearn
Very well-read tale of the triumph of faith, hope and love in the face of great adversity. Some themes are intense for children.
Sweet, but heavy
Storytime with HannahMary
This is a sweet story, well read, but would have been too dark and sad for me to read as a child.
pretty good
