Sommer, this one was top notch. The illustrations were fantastic! Every element was depicted wonderfully. I was so enthused to see how Stephanie would manage such an amazing plan. The Light Your Candle Crusade, was so effective. It could work anywhere. What a wonderful idea! It just goes to show that if we work together we can accomplish so much. Thanks for sharing and giving the inspiration to do more. This will definitely be a concept I will teach to my students-as I share the book. (BooksUnderReview.com )
