      This sounds like the perfect book for the girls in my family. My daughter has always wanted to name her daughter – when she has one – Isabella. To me, it seems like fate that I would want this book.

      Thank you,

      Christine

      This book sounds perfect for my 6 year old niece! Sometimes I think she needs a gentle reminder that she really can achieve anything!

      I have twin granddaughters, one’s name is Isabella – They would get a kick out of this. Got any books with Alexia in them?
