I loved this book

Hopefully if you have read this you have also read The Missing Piece. I absolutely loved these books. Full of great wisdom about life. Highly Recommended for children and adults. Right up there with the great works of Dr. Seuss.

One of my favorite books of all time

One of my favorite books of all time. This is a great book to discuss with elementary age students about fitting in and how we are whole without finding the perfect mate or friend.
