i adored this book so much. it was gentle, and kind, and comforting, and sweet. the characters were so emotionally intellectual--they constantlt considered the feelings of everyone around them. it allowed children to be who they are and be equal with the adults around them. i love bobbie so much--she reminds me so much of myself. and i loved the voice of the narrator when she spoke. it was as if she was my friend telling me a story. this is my favorite book of the year so far.
