Adam J, Reviewer
This is a book that will actually engage adults whilst reading it to their children. I was reading it to my son, and he sat there quietly and listened to the story. The illustrations were great, and tied into the story to perfection. The underlying messages of unloading troubles and not to carry them around with you, I thought was put across numerous times but not in a horrible repetitive way. It would highlight to a child of not everything has to be kept hold of, and can be shared with others..
In summary, a well written and thought out book for children.
This review is based on a free digital ARC copy provided by NetGalley. My views are provided based on the book content only.
