Life isn't easy for the animals who live at the rescue shelter. But Sally, a yellow canary, manages to make life better for everyone she touches. This is a story of loss and of the power of love, friendship-and music to heal. Some reviews: My overall impression was that it's great. It has almost exactly the same format as The Little Prince - short vignettes that make up the complete story. And, like The Little Prince, I cried about 9 times, and borderline sobbed at the end. Every animal has a lot of heart, and it makes sense that the protagonist has the most heart of all and has the best ending of all. - D.N. Pretty awesome It is a lovely book. Just a delight. Congratulations. Really, it's wonderful. It's very much in the style of Charlotte's Web and not like most books out for kids in this age group right now - which is so nice. And Ellie LOVED it. When we first read the description of Lily, Ellie said "This girl is me Is she based on me? " She was just enthralled with the whole thing. And at the very end, she was able to see that Sally lived a meaningful, loving life and that's kind of the point of everyone's life. It is just great. GREAT I just know kids are going to love it. - J.W.
