Book 0042

I loved reading this with my youngest son at the age of 9. It epitomises empathy in the best way – by telling the same story from the different character’s perspectives. The parent’s love and pain was palpable. The main character August so lovely, and his sister and friend’s feelings so appropriately told. Gives heart to parents with kids who don’t fit the mould straight out of the box. It just takes a little human kindness, (and there is lots of it in the world) and they will be fine.
