  1. I also read this book and was very heart-broken. I can't believe that his mom burned his hand on a stove. This was definitely hard to get through ; not because it was hard, but it was hard to understand why the mom beat her child.

  2. Wow! I think i would really like reading this book. I have such a big heart for children and to think of them getting abused is heart breaking. Its so hard to grasp why parents even think to abuse their children.
