+ brings back the days when I was young!~

This is one of my favorite children's books. It was the first book that depicted a hostile parent despite feeding and sheltering her children and it was the first book that depicted children's relationships as less than trustworthy. After reading this book, I wished I had the author as MY teacher. ...

Ever since Brigham Young sent a handful of men and women on "art missions" to Europe back in the 1870's, the Latter-Day Saints have sought to produce art worthy of their faith. This wonderful book is among the best examples I have seen of what great things can happen when faith and art are blended ...
