There are not many books we read as a family; there are even fewer books we read as a family over and over. The Long-Promised Song is a book my kids love and asks for the most. It is a simply touching story, or as Phoenix puts it, "sometimes, in the end all you need is a friend who believes in you". I have read this book no less than 50 times, and every time it's like the first time. Thank you Linda Carter Zern. (Ms. P. Hart)
