Reviews
Caroline Crocker creates a kid and a family that are the same as mine. Ireentje's thoughts, feelings, and emotions were mine, too. As I read, I laughed out loud. I teared up. I was sad as I learned how she (I) had screwed up. Though all the physical details of her life and mine are different, everything that really counts, our humanity, is the same. I can hear Ireentje talking. I am there with her.I don't know how the books could be any better. I hope for more stories about Ireentje!!!! Beautifully captures the magic of childhood through the eyes of eight-year-old Ireentje, whose small-town Canadian adventures transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. From crunchy snow and playful discoveries to secret footprints in fresh concrete, each moment is a celebration of wonder. Whether feeding chipmunks at Lake of Bays, watching bears at the dump, or navigating the joys and challenges of friendship, Ireentje's journey is a nostalgic embrace of family, change, and the boundless spirit of imagination.
