The Maria Series
Lovely
Great book about a little girl making sacrifices for what he believes in. My daughter loved it especially and it led into some great conversations about being grateful and giving up things to help others.
[Maria’s Many Colors]
A sweet story of selflessness
I love the good values of hard work, ingenuity, and selflessness that this story portrays. The descriptions help this story come alive. Wonderful, character-building discussions could result from reading this book.
