4.0

A very short easy read. The little boys story travels along and is highly relatable. I could have done without the parents reasoning behind writing the book and instead just heard from people along the way and ended with a grown up Colton. I don't know if the story is true, but it does lend itself to believability in some aspects like the portrait of Jesus. Not the best written book ever, but it is tender and honest. The parts where he talks about what it feels like to hear the story retold and the grittiness of feeling pain for someone you love who is ill or dying are my favorite. These feel authentic. A comforting read recommended by a friend. Enjoy and God Bless!
