When I opened this book, I was delighted to explore the colorful pages and inspiring words in this story of a little girl Celia and her dog Pancho that experience a magical journey to Saturn. This book celebrates the power of imagination, and there are activity pages at the end to help young readers, explore their creative ideas. A wonderful way to support child patients while they are getting long-term treatment in the hospital. Overall, the message is uplifting and inspiring. The words help children to use creative ideas and cope with the challenges of long-term medical care and to rely on all the friends that care about them for support. I would recommend all readers explore the foreign language editions in Spanish and Catalan as well. The book does not end with the little girl being cured of her condition, but her story ends on an optimistic note with a promise of more magical adventures to come even if she is still in the hospital.
Though I have some critiques about the blurb:
First, I found some gaps in the text of the blurb, and I would recommend that these errors get corrected so that readers can understand better.
Second, I don't like this part of the sentence "locked up in hospitals" I would recommend that sentence to be changed to "staying in hospitals" because being locked up sounds negative.
