My first book review: The Dragonfly Secret: A Story of Boundless Love



Title: The Dragonfly Secret: A Story of Boundless Love
Author(s): Clea and John Adams
Pages: 32
Publisher: Feather Rock Books
Age: Youth - Adult
Genre: Grief/Loss
Edition: Standard, Hardcover

I want to say thank you to Clea Adams for sending me this book to review.

My thoughts: I loved this book from the moment I took it out of the envelope. The cover art is beautiful and that remains the case throughout the entire book. The story line is easy to follow and is very moving and will bring a tear to your eye as it did mine.

The target audience is for children ages 9-12 this book goes beyond that to even helping adults. I can see rereading this book when the time comes to both myself and to my daughter.

Per the authors this is a companion book to The Dragonfly Door.

From the dust jacket:
Love and hope transcend all boundaries when a boy and a dragonfly meet. An impossible encounter?

Lea journeys through a beautiful garden to discover the boy's secret. As she follows his clues, Lea meets people who need her help. And at the end, the unexpected secret is revealed.

Part mystery, part surprise, this timeless story that celebrates the dragonfly's gift to others is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Beautifully illustrated, The Dragonfly Secret gently encourages children and adults to explore life's infinite possibilities. Because of it, readers may look at nature in an entirely new light.

I recommend this book for anyone that has a child that is having a hard time going through the grieving process or if they themselves are the ones having the problem.
