I purchased two copies of this book - one for our household and one to give to a newcomer family from Sudan. They are learning English and I thought the children could relate to this story. I thought it was very well written and liked how the story unfolded. A great children's book for instilling awareness and caring for others.

The story caught me in the first few pages, shedding tears for a precious orphan girl and her Grandma. It opened my eyes to another area of life, a horrific Hatti earthquake, that may take material things away but can never take your heart as proven by this amazing littles ones journey. It’s a must read.
