Synopsis

This is the story of Richard Bach as he’s invited to attend the birthday party of a little girl about to turn five. The book and the message within is his gift to her, and a gift to each of us.

This simple picture book is about time and place, love and friendship, distance and attachment. The words are simple, yet profound. This is classic Richard Bach philosophy disguised as a children’s story. It’s an excellent companion to Bach’s better known Jonathan Livingston Seagull but stands on its own in beauty and impact.

The wonderful new paintings by H. Lee Shapiro enhance the story and help make this a book to save, to share, and return to over the years.

I was intrigued to discover that the little girl in the story is real, although much older now. Imagine how it would be to have a favorite author write a book from their heart directly to you.

The important thing … is for you to know the truth.”

“But remember … that not being known doesn’t stop the truth from being true.”
