This is a truly beautiful book, the illustrations are gorgeous and it holds a valuable and poignant message about living for the moment and enjoying all the glorious things in life, however fleeting. A book for adults and children alike I bought a signed copy for myself due to the beauty of the hard cover navy blue linen with silver embossed writing and the lovely drawings and now I am going to buy one for my three year old niece.

This is a lovely book! Children in my class could really relate to some difficult topics which are in this simple book. The book inspired great discussions about being grateful, resilience and even death.
