There is something personal behind the words...filled with love and faith. Ida is a strong girl, and has undergone a lot in her years; and yet, she still has faith in the future...in miracles. Beckstrand brought Ida and her journey to life in his pages. It was heartfelt and delightful; and I think this book would be best read by anyone and, if they can't read yet, they should have it read to them."- Amy Shannon, author About the Author Karl Beckstrand is the bestselling and award-winning author/illustrator of 21 multicultural/multilingual books and more than 80 ebook titles (reviews by Publisher's Weekly, Kirkus, School Library Journal, The Horn Book's blog, ForeWord Reviews).
