To my mind, the book accomplishes what the author set out to do and so eloquently states in her book: "Love chases away hate and light chases away the dark."

The story has a great feeling to it — a warm, calming, friendly — but serious — feeling. It is told in a very simple way, but I think it tells a big story. I believe this is a book that every family will have use of in their house.
