A must read for all ages !
This story really puts life into prospective . The kind of story that makes you hug your family a little tighter , and cherish the memories with the ones you still have, and even more with the ones you have already lost . My daughter is 6 and loves this story and I think it taught her and I both a valuable life lesson , that everyone in our life has something valuable to teach us, especially our grandparents! This is a must read for all ages .
