A beautiful book. The story of 7 yr old Sylvia and her stories, the books flows through many important facets of seven year old life, focusing on the joy and goodness and imparting lessons about sharing, friendship and faith in the world as a magical place. A wonderful read-aloud for very young children. An engrossing story for the avid reader and the I-hate-to reader. I'm thrilled to see this book back in print, it is one that I believe that every household should own.
