Let's be honest here. I bought this book for me, not for my son 😅 As a mother, I think the most trait I need to master is patience. Three years almost passed and I am so far for patience 😅 I never read this book for my son because even though this book is about patience, yet the age range is for older kids. I will let him read it when he is big enough.
