“My grandson was 11-years-old when I gave him this great book and movie. I wanted him to fully understand friendship, love, forgiveness, and courage. Nigel is now 12-years-old. The story really helped him understand what previous generations endured because of hatred and ignorance. Above all, the story helped him discover the quality of Vertus’ heart through his ability to forgive, move forward, endure, and succeed. I find my grandson to be a stronger person today.”
