This book had me in tears, but it was well worth it because Chika's life deserves to be recognized. I enjoyed learning about this little girl and her big personality. The author also includes inspirational lessons on parenting/family/love. I did not agree with everything pertaining to the Alboms' thoughts about Chika's medical providers, but these things were always treated in a respectful way in this book, with the acknowledgment that no one in these situations knows the "right" thing to do.
Thank you, Mr. Albom, for sharing Chika's story with us.
