The drawings are simply amazing!!! It's like a book about my two older girls. they een look alike, esp. Alicia May and Emily. The book helped my oldest to understand and her behaviour towards her little sister changed since reading the book! Thanks!

My 4 1/2 year old loved it & helped him understand our friend a little more- why she is extra special. Thanks.
