A book that Grandmother, mothers, and children will love
Format: Hardcover
This is a lovely, lilting description of a day in the life of one family. Thoughtfully written with beautiful illustrations, it's a delight to read. The best part is how gentle and understanding it is of real life adventures/problems. I can't wait to read it to my grandchildren!
Thank-you Bee Johnson for sharing with us, we're all richer for it, especially the children.
