Review Quotes

Spring 2015 Canadian Children's Book Centre Best Books for Kids and Teens selection!

Book Wars Blog: In classic Simply Read Books fashion this book is equal parts beautiful and charming with a dash of heart....This may just become a classic Hockey Picturebook and is certainly a great idea for a gift to a girl who plays hockey, perhaps a gift from a grandparent - or, I think that it could be used to approach the topic of ailing health in a family member and how to handle the situation (which is, of course, to treat the person just like anyone else and to keep on living life to its fullest!).
