An epic Western story told with an amazing detail and harsh reality about how it was to live in the West at that time. It is a long one but well worth the time.

Read this story with my 8-yr old daughter, her first major chapter book. We started reading it together but she really got into it and read the second half without me. So I finished it on my own to hear the end of the story.
It's a fun story that literally dives deep into the world of fairy tales.

Review of 'Design is storytelling' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
The book is quite nice, it has plenty of graphics, color, and excellent printing. The design ideas and concepts in the book seemed to be more around known stories and common sense, little seemed new to me. The book is put together well and flows nicely, maybe I'd give it 4 stars if I were newer to some of the ideas, though I was hoping for a little bit deeper from it.
