The Dory books are very well liked, even beloved, by my children. Reading them out loud, I recognized the understanding and realism with which Abby Hanlon writes about the dual worlds that children inhabit. Abby has clearly been able to, as Edward Eager once said, "access the child mind." :)

Eye-opening discussion about the layers of parental protection being peeled back and replaced by a child’s growing ability to care for themselves. Fascinating. I will buy her books today to read the author’s first person work.
