Reviews / Votes
In "Fen's Touch of Gray," author Brian Wray sensitively addresses the complex topic of overwhelming sadness. In a touching story that speaks directly to the hearts and minds of young children, little Fen teaches that, even in the face of difficult feelings, we can find our way back to "beauty" and "color." A wonderful book to help children cope. -- Michelle Witkin, Ph.D.More details
