"Mis hijos escucharon atentamente desde la primera página. Mi hijo mayor recargó su cabeza en mi hombro cuando Rocky le dice a La Dragoncita Azul, ‘El amor de una madre es para siempre, aunque ella no siempre puede estar contigo’. Aprecié mucho las excelentes preguntas de discusión al final, que nos animan a expresar nuestros sentimientos. ¡Es una historia hermosa!"
"My sons listened intently from the very first page. My eldest lay his head on my shoulder when Rocky tells the Little Blue Dragon, ‘A mother's love is forever, even if she can't always be with you.’ I so appreciate the great discussion questions at the end, encouraging us to express our feelings. It's a beautiful story!”
