Parental warning - do not read this book!

'The naming of Tishkin Silk' is a most beautifully written and so sad and touching children story. I was really struggling reading it to Marla. In fact I was sobbing through the last two chapters. I was dreading bedtime, because Marla demanded we finish the book - quite rightly. She was helping out reading the paragraphs where I totally packed up. It was downright surreal.
So, go on then, read it
- I dare you not to cry.
