A book that explains that seeing the positive side of life requires being Pollyanna. Pollyanna teaches us all things we often forget in our hectic lives. I had read this book happily, the way I was feeling that how can a little girl whose parents are no longer with her be so happy after going to her aunt Polly.
The same aunt about whom she does not even know that it is because of her name that she got the name Pollyanna. How strange it is that even a small child teaches you everything that you know is education. But we forget to put it into practice. As I was reading the book, I was realizing that this book is not just going to be added to the English chapter of school kids.
Pollyanna is inside all of us; we just hide that Pollyanna somewhere so deep down that it cannot come out.
This is for everyone who knows what it means to be happy.
This is for everyone who likes to see life differently every day.
And finally, this is for everyone who wants to live.

Uma história sobre amor, cuidado e superação.
Às vezes não é fácil lidar com todos os problemas, mas sempre tem um novo jeito de olhar.
