Author Amos Mack and illustrator Zoryn Mack have together created a book that deals with a person who has a physical disability due to an accident. I could not think of a more wonderful book to read to a child who has a parent who has had an accident, that left the parent physically without a finger. The poetry was the icing on the cake - all of it just deliciously cute! I would recommend this child's book to any parent who wants a visual learning tool for their child, after an accident. Five of five stars! Thank you to the publisher via NetGalley. I read this voluntarily and all opinions are my own.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for allowing me to read this book.

I love the premise of this book and how it's told from a child's sweet, innocent perspective. It would be a great book to read to children to explore different abilities.

The book does require quite a bit of editing and formatting. The text is often hard to read and is not centred. I personally feel that the book would be better if it didn't rhyme. Some lines felt a bit forced and stilted in an effort to make it rhyme.

I like the premise and the characters. With some further editing it has potential to be a great book.
