My Review

Picture
Gerbs in the House: Jaida's Here is a sweet story that reminds readers to live life to the fullest.

As Mocha is watering the garden he meets a friendly caterpillar. Mocha is overjoyed and invites Jaida to stay and visit with him and Petri. The three become fast friends and soon Jaida is a regular at the Gerbs' home. Soon Jaida is encouraging Mocha and Petri to embrace life by experiencing new things. But, when Jaida doesn't show up to play Mocha and Petri don't know what to do. Will they ever see her again?

Picture
Inspired by a precious little girl named Jaida who graced the world with her zest for life, Gerbs in the House: Jaida's Here serves and a reminder that each day is a gift. Jaida (the little girl) may have only spent 7 short years on earth, but she faced life with courage and lived with love in her heart. 

I highly recommend picking up this delightful story that teaches us so much. Available on Amazon.
