We listened to this book together (the kids and I) on a drive down into Dallas and then finished it on our drive to Utah. I was so pleased with how much they loved the story. It's clearly a girl's book--about two girls who are best friends--but it's also clearly a story that any child can read and imagine. Betsy's stories that she tells--about a magic horse pulling a carriage, and about floating on a feather in the beautiful sunset sky--and their adventures they get up to by climbing the big hill behind their house and selling colored sand to the other kids in their neighborhood are universal. These stories are so sweet and peaceful as well. Graham especially loved them, and kept asking to listen to the book throughout our drive. We listened to it maybe two or three times. I love it. And then Graham's Sunbeam teacher for church at Aspen Grove was named Tacy after this book, and he was so excited.
