This sounds like a wonderful story for children gently introducing feelings of loss and grief in a kind and colourful way. It looks bright and entertaining and the idea of the talking socks is great fun. Thanks for a great review.

Sock Lobsters sounds like a wonderful story to share with kids and young adults. What a great way to start a conversation about emotional intelligence and grief.

This "unique and wonderful children’s book" is definitely a great one. I like it that the book is well illustrated and that adults can also benefit from the story’s gentle wisdom. However, I'm not a fan of children's books. Otherwise, congrats on the BOTD.

Sounds like a wonderful children's book. I'm sure many readers will appreciate its whole idea and purpose.

Thanks for your honest review. Grief is a hard subject to help children get through. It sounds like Sebastian and Lola are just the right socks to help.

First of all, I am so very sorry to read about the loss of your baby kitty and the lingering feelings you have. Please try to find peace in the care you DID give it, at some point, so your mind can be at peace.

I love your fun and very detailed review. There were no pages to read in the sampling. Just the very cute cover and the acknowledgment page, so I truly loved your review.

I'm sure children will learn how to cope with grief and loss from Lola and Sebastian's story. The book is both educational and entertaining and includes nice illustrations. Thanks for your review!

This is wonderful childrens book and it is having a happy ending. Parents don't have to worry if it looks like it's going to make kids sad.The review is about a elderly woman who gives her granddaughter a pair of socks and this socks are magical, they even have names. The other socks was named sebastian, this one was always looks on the dark side, the other socks was named Lola, this one always look on bright side.This socks loves each other.
