This gentle book shows the interconnectedness of all things - you, me, us, the sun, the rain, etc.

In my opinion this is a great book. Because of its characters, the little girl, the dad and the mom, the story comes to life by doing real life things like taking the little girl on the subway and to the grocery store to show her how to make the world a better place. This book pushes reader to really think about how she is doing that and how they can do that in real life. the main idea is that your input may be small, but the outcome will be grand. It's the little things that matter most.

Matylda - with a "y" - Bright and Tender is a wonderful, poignant tale of a close friendship which ended tragically.
It is about developing love for someone, or something, difficult to love. Additionally, it is about the process of grief
each individual must go through in her/his own way and how others can allow them to work through it.

Finally, it us about unselfishness of caring individuals and of redemption.
The author has created a unique, captivating story which induces the reader too become very endeared to the characters,
The reader is "drawn into the story" to the point he/she will feel he/she is there.

The writing of the author, Holly M. McGhee was very effective, coupled with the most outstanding narration of amazing Jenna Lamia.
makes this a truly DYNAMIC Children's book on CD! Jenna Lamia is, by far, the most talented and entrancing "voice" i have ever listened to on tape. Her voice for each character is very concise. She never deviates. When she speaks of the background scenes its in a separate voice, also.

The Book content will explain the Title and the Cover is sinple but "fitting'. I feel it would have more appeal to the "Browser" if there had been a few more images on the cover.

If an educator wants a beak or if a audio story is needed for Summer Reading Programs, rest assured, this young voice will captivate children more than most anyone!
This is not only an entertaining book but has a multitude of lessons one can use for several discussions.
This is a very STRONG Five Stars rated book on tale, in this reviewer's opinion
*I Won this Book on Tape in an Early Reviewer Giveaway by the Library Thing. I am remorse, because of circumstances, I was unable to listen to and review this book sooner.

. I was not asked to offer a positive review. This is my honest Review.

I loved how simple this book was. The world can be a scary place but there's many things we can do to promote kindness, understanding, and acceptance. The little girl's parents set an example of what she can do to show small acts of kindness. When she's ready to go out on her own, they are a little afraid, but eventually let her. Simplistic and great for young children.
