While I appreciate the effort, I felt some of the original’s power was lost in the adaptation. Still a worthwhile book, but could be better.

Good introduction to a tough subject. My -year-old understood it well. I wish there was more background information included, though.

I had mixed feelings. While informative, some sections felt rushed. My kid lost interest at times. Overall, it’s decent.
