"As a retired teacher, I enjoy reading children's books. This book by Lisa Nolan is a treasure. I read it straight through. She has beautifully written phrases like 'Trout River, which lay in the distance looking like a long blue ribbon blowing in the wind,' or 'Stars sparkled in the sky reminding me of spilled glitter' (you can tell the author is a teacher). This is a heartwarming story for adults and children alike. Animal lovers will especially love this book. I highly recommend it for a story that describes the struggles of a small town but how people reach out to help each other."--Susan Case, Author of "Kindergarten: Tattle-Tales, Tools, Tactics, Triumphs and Tasty Treats" and co-author of "The Happy Mommy Handbook."
