Ahhhh, heart warming books are the best to read as Winter fades to Spring this side of the globe!
I think what really got me was that the children weren't the stereotypical: "You're not my real mom!!" sort that pop up all over the place like pimples before the prom, they were really likable and yet believable children as well.
And Sarah was lovely! A strong woman but a loving one, and anyone who can love three raggedy chickens, rather than eating them, will always go down as a great person in my books!
One day I hope to see the sea again and when I do, I will take this little book with me to re-read, just so that Sarah can feel the magic all over again!
Recommended for anyone who just wants a bit of, "Aw" in their life.

Definitely a nostalgic read for me. It was one of my favorites as a child and I still love it as an adult. It’s a short read but it shows so much joy and love and fear in its pages.

So I’ve been debating if I want to review this or not but I think about this book constantly. I read it once in 5th grade and it was the worst book I’ve ever read. “But you gave it five stars” shut up. My teacher Mrs. Poole said I would like it so I read it and I cried my little prepubescent eyes out and this book has haunted and stuck with me and I think about it way to often.
Great book for fourth graders. I read this with my class and they do well with making text connections and comprehension strategies in our literacy unit. Boys and girls can relate to both of the main characters.

Goodness! This book is so simple but beautifully written. It begs to be read aloud. We'll follow with the movie and continue reading the series.
Ok book for kids. Short and sweet and wholesome. Lots of hope.
Not a recent thing -- this just popped up on my suggested reads list and I remembered liking it way back when.
