now embraces the favorites of a young girl. The text shares three favorites and the third one has a reason why it's the favorite. It's interesting because the favorite is often a current reason. For example, "This is my favorite tooth - because it's the one that is missing." If the reader carefully pays attention to this pattern the ending won't be so much of a surprise. The ending will also tug at any reader's heart. This book brings hope to the reader through mindfulness, quiet, and patience. It also embraces the potential for change. I hope you spend a few minutes with this book.
I love Antoinette Portis's books. I read this a while back, now you've got me wanting to read it again as a mentor for opinion writing.
