My Thoughts:
I love this book!!! The funny thing is that as soon as I opened the parcel I giggled. Mostly because I have a brother Dave!! And then as I read the book, it sounded so much like a story my brother would tell and the way he would tell it. And I could hear the voice of my Grandfather with those parts!!!

Another great thing about this book are the resources you can get through the Lost Sheep website (some free, some requiring you to buy them) that go along with this and the other books in the series.

I'm planning to read this on Easter Sunday to the 2-5 year olds in crèche! I can't wait for their reaction!!

Moving Music

Love this music ... to bad it's not on the actual soundtrack CD. If you want it, you have to get the soundtrack for Life as a House.

Kids Again





I think life was much simpler when I was a child. I'm glad I grew up when I did.

My Thoughts:
I liked this book. Not just because it was a Heartsong book set in Australia, but because I liked the story! Kate and Jack are realistic characters and I really liked it that the story was mostly set out of the city.

I'm looking forward to reading more of Narelle's books as they come out!
