I really hate picture books that start with a forward or a message telling you ahead of time how great the book is going to be. Because nine times out of ten the book does not live up to the forward. In this book, Sally is alone and anxious and worried. To help with this, her parents build her a magical door that by opening, it will help change everything. Opening the door is symbolic of giving everything a chance.  Opening the door changes nothing, it just gives Sally a moment to see things differently. Overall, the book is nice, but feels more preachy than story related. I wanted to like it but it’s just OK.
