Librarian’s Review
Yet another wonderful read by the award-winning Tomie dePaola. This time, among other things, he touches on how children feel when a loved one falls seriously ill. An extremely touching book about filial piety and the ties that bind.
Check if this title is available at Public Libraries via the online catalogue on the National Library Board’s website.
