A Story to Treasure

Children’s books are a hard thing to perfect. How to create a magical mood that transports a young child – and her reader – into another world? How to capture wonder? How to offer delight?

For a gal who loves jewelry but recently discovered an adverse skin reaction to all things metal, this fanciful ring is a lovely find indeed.
