"life is full of challenges. It is up to us to turn every challange into an opportunity." this quote is the theme of the book. I love how the author uses bigger words not often heard to create a beautiful picture out of a challenging situation. I love how we get to see the girls thoughts and frustrations that come from a scary sitation. It helps us better understand ourselves and hoe we can turn challenges into opportunities.

From Inara's Mom: I didn't know this was a religious book when I requested it. I did some editing as I read it.

Great life lessons without beating kids over the head with the message. See why we love the Ruby Lee books in our reviews at the Reading Tub.
