With soft words and tenderness, this book spoke to the child in me and the adult. It is inspiring and it is sweet. Shelly, through her words, manages to reach out through the pages of delicate and beautiful illustrations, and wrap you in a warm hug. Just like Carissa, she gives you a feeling of love and safety. From that place of love and safety, she gives you hope. There is freedom in this little story that we all desperately need. Freedom from the idea that “bad things” that have happened to us are somehow part of who we are.

I read the book and thought of so many including me who needed the wisdom and the love of this book on letting go of the things that weigh us down. Shelly begin working on another book and urge Jolie to do the same.
John, thank you for reading the book and for sharing your comments. Stephanie and I are already working on “Gracie Book Number Two.” Stay tuned for details.
You and Jolie need to get your writing groove on and just get it finished.
I love you.
