A Story of Courage and Sensitivity
The story is a very moving true diary of a little girl's grief, hardship, love and friendship and how she lived through her pain to cope with the world and what it "dished up" to her. Her ability to express her thoughts with such clarity and to be so in tune with nature is exceptional in one so young. A great book to motivate process drama or writing with students of any age. Has moved many adults to tears when used in this way.
