A review by cc_shelflove
If We Were Giants by Clete Barrett Smith, Dave Matthews

5.0

Yes, it’s exactly what you’re thinking... THAT Dave Matthews.

The tale follows Kirra, a young girl who lives in the wilderness. When her community is attacked by a group of Takers, she is faced with unending guilt and despair. How can she make things right while continuing to honor everything she has lost? We learn a lot about forming relationships, respecting others, and speaking out. I will be interested to see whether Disney decides to develop this into a film.

The recommended age range of 8-12 seemed appropriate.
