Written by Kate DiCamillo, Illustrated by Julie Morstad
This book would make a great read aloud. The story is gentle but keeps the reader engaged. The characters are interesting and relatable. Each puppet in the story has a dream of what their life’s purpose should be. They set off on an adventure that leads them to their purpose, while learning lessons about life, love, and courage.
