We all have bad days filled with gloom and sadness. This story is here to remind us that there is light at the end of the tunnel. All we need is patience and hope. I recommend parents and guardians read this book with their children and teach them the importance of being hopeful.

While reading this book, your child will be introduced to several different animals and aspects of hope. The illustrations by Shayna Renee Olivier will help to keep your child's interest. It also provides an opportunity to spend time discussing hope with your child and what it means to them. Help them understand that hope may change over time, and their understanding will grow and change as they become older. Having spent over forty years in my counseling office, I know that hope is the one ingredient everyone needs to survive. Give your child the gift of hope!
