Review
This is one of the best children's books I've read so far. It has all the characteristics of a great children's book and is even designed and created for today's modern society while also incorporating a lot of beautiful things that some of us might have unintentionally disregarded because of the high technology that geniuses have been continuing to develop and innovate. Beautiful things like arts and nature are things that not a lot of people take time to appreciate. Going on adventures is something that most of us want but with the ever fast paced and demanding life, we don't get the time to do it. I love that these are all part of the story. The focal point, however, is finding one’s lineage and knowing your family's history. I applaud how the story was told and how wonderful the illustrations are. Everything about this book is beautiful! The story and its flow, the characters and their personality, the setting, the historical references, the illustrations, and most importantly, the values and factual information a child can learn from reading this awesome book. 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommend!
