Dani is a charming lighthearted girl who thrives on being happy. This is a story of friendship, of friends moving far away, bullies in school, learning to solve problems and challenges when they arise, and the miracle of forgiveness.
The stories and illustrations are delightful. It reminds me of the Romona Quimby books but she has a more positive outlook on life. This book has all the charm of a great story and extremely relatable to a kid. The illustrations just add that extra greatness to the story.
