Customer Reviews:

“I must say now that I’m fully into my motherhood journey, I felt many things stop me right there in the middle of the busy, crazy and sometimes hectic everyday. One of those things are the books like this one. I paused today just to embrace them all, the noise, the love and chaos a family life brings and so so many memories… Just from our seats.. Beautiful story and love those illustrations. Great book to read with the whole family!” – Tanja
