"I find it absolutely fascinating. It gives meaning to even the smallest of life that we otherwise don't notice. It is so different and it is for everyone. Instead of calling it a book for children, I would say it is for children from 7 to 97! It has a strong message of love and that everyone counts... No one is too small to deserve love." - Rev. Dr. Helena Steiner-Hornsteyn
