Ratings and reviews

I liked this book. The illustrations were beautiful. It was a simple read, and I enjoyed the message that there is a light in all of us. It could have been a bit clearer in the lesson, but I was glad to read it. I received a copy of this story through RABT Book Tours, and this is my unsolicited review.
