You won't regret it! Patricia - I found this wonderful book while I was at BEA in NYC in May. I stopped by the Peachtree Publishers boot and talked with the publicist (who happens to follow me on Twitter already). She shared this book with me as they are really excited about it. And rightly so. Heather - It is a very touching book, I'm glad that it brought you to tears. Rasco from RIF - This book is definitely worth the promotion and I hope it does make the collection. It needs to be talked about. Kathy - And I rarely cry! And with a picture book?! Sheila – It just came out so go find it. You won’t regret it!

Your review is touching and captures very nicely the spirit of the book. On Friday I am going to do a recap of all that has been in the blogosphere this week on 14 Cows and will have a link to your posting. I am hopeful of including the book in this year's RIF Multicultural Book Collections we distribute through Macy's sponsorship to selected RIF sites.

Such a beautiful book, filled with wonderful illustrations and poetry.

For these people to think of us on that dreadful day and to give something from directly from the heart is so touching.

How did you find this treasure?

The words you posted, "At least, an elder speaks. He is shaken, but above all, he is sad. “What can we do for these poor people?" This book looks like it flows like poetry. I am definitely interested in knowing more. What a beautiful book. The words you posted,
“At least, an elder speaks.
He is shaken, but above all, he is sad.
