Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Princess Dahlyia's Secret
Kally Mayer · 2013
62/100
👎 Skip It
This is a warm, well-intentioned little rhymer with a genuinely useful message about telling your family what's on your mind. The self-published origin and minimal distribution mean quality control is uncertain, and the story is thin by design — but for a toddler read-aloud about feelings and honesty, it does its small job.
