AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Written in second person, this picture book walks you through life by using a path as a metaphor to different stage in life. The path is described as being and looking different all of the time. Sometimes the path is "wildflowers bathed in the warm sunlight," while other times it might lead into a scary cave. But not matter what, don't forget to persevere because the path can always surprise you. Most of all, it's important to remember that all paths are different, and you can always change or alter your path if you want to.

The message was beautifully written. I could see this used for many lessons in an Elementary setting. The character who is walking on the path is very cute and the pictures are wonderful. My 3 year old daughter enjoyed the simplicity of this book, even though the message was over her head. This could be used with many different age groups.
