This stunningly thoughtful children's book tells a beautiful story about what brings - and doesn't bring - happiness in life. The telling is straightforward, the prose easy but not simplistic, the plot moves along quickly - perfect for children from preschool through 3rd or 4th grade. Perfect for anyone who sees beyond the superficial aspects of life to the meaningful. I'm a 54 year old physician, and I've read it many times. The illustrations are lovely and add depth. I am fortunate my mother found it for my son at a used book sale. Now that he's 14, I'm gifting it to his guitar teacher.
