MAGIC!!!

I love this story! How beautiful to have a special friend when one is lonely. We have all felt loneliness from time to time. To have someone there, when times seem bleak, is definitely a gift. To be able to partake of one of God's many special creatures is just lovely. Whether one believes in this magic or not, we have all had a moment when the thought of something more, something mystical, enters are mind or even captures our eye. I would have liked the narrator to sound more animated though. She sounded like she was just reading. I know it's not an easy job but definitely could have been much better. All in all, anything that has Dolores Cannon, I'M IN!

What a magical book to have as her last one

I love Dolores Cannon. Everything about her, and this book has made me fall in love with her all over again. As a mother of a nine-year-old daughter, who just moved to a new school, I found myself listening as if it was her story. Then as I worked my way to the end, I began to see myself as this little girl as well. I believe we all had very special friends in our lives when we were little, and the reminder of that hit my heart. Such a beautiful story written by an equally beautiful person.

Beautiful Story/Encounter

Such a nice reminder to stop and appreciate all the small wonders of the world and all the beings, seen and unseen that work hard to maintain it.

Beauty and love ❤️

I love the meaning of the story and everything overall ❤️. It really helped me to see how much we don't understand about nature and how much we are missing out.

Revived the magic I believe in

As an adult with so many responsibilities one can feel like the joy and magic has been zapped right out of our life. I often lie in bed wondering how I can feel that wonder and joy of this magical realm again and this book reopened that door for me. I love the detail, it feels as is I am living it. I wish the story was longer but I am so grateful for the revived magic within me.
