Fear is often irrational, and that sort of thing doesn't usually work. Greta is forced out into the storm against her will, and as distressing as that is, she manages, and enjoys playing in the puddles afterward." ~A. Monaghan, Sioux Falls, SD "...a good conversation starter for parents and children" ~P. Wu, Jacksonville, FL "It illustrates how fear and anxiety plague the mind, and the uselessness of it. Greta shows fortitude." ~F. Biernat, Windsor, ON Details:paperback, 8.5 X 8.5 inches, 28 pages, full color
