This book was given to me by one of my best friends and it came to me highly recommended by her. It is a lovely story of the power of prayer and having faith in God, it also teaches us about forgiveness, second opportunities and getting to know people for who they are, not what they look like. It is a really sweet story and when is told in the voice of a kid, it really makes you think about life and what you might want to do with yours.
