I bought this book for my nephews and I am so pleased to see a young writer with such a strong voice. I can't wait to hear more from this promising young lady.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Amazon Customer

This book was fantastic. Such a great read on a topic that many children must go through when a friend moves away. Being a young author, her storytelling accurately captures the feelings of the main characters from their view.

I bought this book for my 7 yr old nephew but my 9 yr old son was the first to read it. The illustrations are beautiful, and I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like their kids to read a positive & uplifting story about friendship and bonding.
