Review:
"It's no secret that kids love to read about magic. But instead of serving up another scoop of the fanciful, good-versus-evil flavor of magic that saturates contemporary kid-lit, Alexandra Folz delivers something entirely different. Lucky young readers of The Heirloom will discover the true potential they have for creating real magic in their lives. While sharing Indigo's journey, they'll absorb the message that their own magical powers are within reach as well, and everyday magic is available to us all." -Lisa McCourt, bestselling author of I Love You Stinky Face and dozens of other books for kids and adults "In this heartwarming story, Alexandra turns the spotlight on the inner journey of the child's soul, teaching children how to be fearless in their authentic state.
