What an unforgettable story. I first read this book back when I was in elementary school. I loved it then and I love it more now that I’ve re-read it in my thirties. A tale of true friendship that is so simply and honestly told, it could only tell the truth. Every person, young and old, should read it.
I especially love the way death is presented in this story. It is not something that is to be feared. It is sad, yes, but it is merely part of nature and life, just like the changing of the seasons and the growth of children. How elegantly and gracefully it was handled. How very beautiful.
