"This is a sweet and simple book about the basics of a happy family life. It's an easy read for older children and a great book for an adult to read with a younger child. The pictures are beautiful and help illustrate the simple principles found in the book. This book is great to read on it's own, but would also be a great addition to a lesson or a study tool for families to discuss and implement at home."
