Review: This is one of the best books ever. My mom read it to us. It's about a little boy, who is like amazing. Almost an angel. He's kind, caring, loving, loves to serve, and just obediant and pure. Something very hard to find these days. It's got great lessons and is a very special story of a very special little boy. For all ages.
