This book really surprised me! At first, I admit that I rolled my eyes at these books. I thought they'd be hokey and a waste of time. I was so wrong.

The stories and poems here are actually...heartwarming. Although they can be kind of sad at times, there is always a lesson of some sort within them.

I like that the book is so easy to read. I can read a story here or there, or read long chunks of it if I want, and nothing is lost. I've bought this book for several family member and friends, and it's usually a hit.

But my complaint comes from the sad stories or poems. I know that the theme here is healing, but the tales of death and coping were a bit too much for me at times. However, the morality behind each tale is more than enough to redeem them
