RATING: 2 Thumbs Up!
REVIEW:
This is such a well-written story about a young girl who is dealing with the grief of losing her older brother. No one could have known that her brother was ill. Now she fears for her life. She worries about all illnesses and is overly cautious. She even wears a helmet walking down the street. Her friends don't understand why she is so careful and her mother can't help her because she has her own grief to deal with. Yet, a wonderful neighbor helps Annie close her umbrella of sadness and move on with her life. It is a beautiful story. I even got a little teary eyed when Annie's friends begin to understand her fear and they create a new obstacle course game where everyone has to wear pillows attached to them. I definitely recommend this book! I'm ordering it for my library !
