The story illustrates how important it is to not let the opinion of other people determine how to live your life or the compassion you have for others, including your family.
The author does an exceptional job of tackling difficult questions and the emotional, real-life situations that accompany a family, especially when learning how to love and care for a child with disabilities.
I really enjoyed author Tuula Pere’s carefully and beautifully written story and the illustrations by Catty Flores. I found each scene brought a sweet and heroic nature to Jacob.

It's beautiful and powerful how deeply Jacob and his family care for Pearl, the newborn, and how they love and accept her no matter what. This is unconditional love!
Jacob really is one of the best characters we've seen in a children's book. Yes, there's an aura of innocence and naivety to him, but he's such a loving, caring, compassionate, and understanding good boy. He is a terrific role model and example for kids to follow.
This series continues to charm and impress us with its heart and soul.

This delightful story addresses the difficult topic of special needs children: caring for them and welcoming them not just into the family, but also into the entire community.
Pearl's Life (Pearl Books #2) by Tuula Pere is an amazing children's story about social issues. Pearl is coming home from the hospital, and Jacob can't wait. Although she is seriously ill, the whole family knows they will do their very best for her.
I particularly appreciated the realistic touch in Catty Flores' paintings, since it is unusual to see a nasal cannula in a children's book, and it is fantastic to see a diverse portrayal of reality.
