My Thoughts:
This is a lovely little gem of a book. It's only 76 pages long, but it's a beautiful guide for life for young people. Fans of T.A. Barron's Merlin series will love the wisdom and advice he (Merlin) shares in it. It provides a positive, hopeful approach to living life. It also encourages kids to be their best selves and to love everyone. It doesn't go into tons of detail, but each section, or "word" focuses on a different aspect that can make a life better and have more meaning. This would be great for kids that have read the Merlin series or are looking to add some positivity to their lives.
