![]() ![]() a valuable gift for someone who was about to die ( I couldn't help but think of the woman who spent money on precious oils for Christ before he died). It resonated well with my personal beliefs that death is not the end and that we will eventually be reunited with our families and loved ones. I loved that even though it was sad, it left me with a hopeful and happy feeling. I'm so happy I didn't have to be someone making those very hard decisions in wartime. My heart aches for the suffering of the people of Japan in that time. it's a wonderful, poignant book which deals with triumph, hope, illness, and death, as well as the bombing of Hiroshima, and Peace Day (I learned a few new things). so I was taken off guard by it and shed a few tears. I didn't know what it was about when I picked it up to read to my daughter. this book makes many of the children's books I have rated pale even though I gave them 5 stars. ![]() WOW! WONDERFUL BOOK! I have gotten to be less inclined to give 5 stars. ![]()
