Very adorable book! Michelle Rasmussen This book is SO cute. I have flipped through it and love a lot of the quotes. They are encouraging and make me smile. The fonts are super cute and it's a well made product.. Hae-z said Whatever you are, be a good one. I ordered this on my Kindle and it was difficult to really appreciate the art work, or read some of the quotes, because it is darker than pages of a book. I'm sure it would be much easier to read it in book form.. "Five Stars" according to Peggy J Anderson. I got this for my daughter as a high school graduatio0n gift. She loves it.
