Thoughts
It took me only one afternoon to read the entirety of this book. Shirking other responsibilities, and allowing my daughter to watched youtube videos, I sat on my couch and enjoyed the adventures of Rockford T. Honeypot. His #Rockford #OriginStory tells of his life and the obstacles he has had to face. With the help of some friends along the way, Rockford T. perseveres and follows his dreams. There were many quotes that spoke to me about not giving up, even when things get really hard.
This story transports you to another reality, which is great at a time like this when we are all stuck at home with no adventure in sight. From flying on the backs of hawks, to climbing up mountains, you will not want to put this book down!
The book is easy to read, but does not “dumb things down” with language or vocabulary. The story is family-friendly and would be a great read before bed.
Nothing is impossible. I never give up. Live long and blossom.
