dbrei's review against another edition
5.0
I read this book for the first time as a third or fourth-grade book report book. I cried so hard through the book that I needed to have my parents help read it to me to get through it entirely. Since then I have read it multiple times and cried through it every last time. This is an incredibly well-written book about the love and loss of a child and the challenges of having a child with cancer. More recently this book has hit closer to home and in a way is a comfort as I had personally lost people close to me and almost lost some of the children around me to it as well. It's easy to love Hannah from the beginning and as an adult, my heart aches for the parent's struggle as well now that I have a child of my own. No matter how much time has passed I love this book more and more as time marches onward and I find myself reading it again. I also have made my friends read it with me so we can all ry together.

This was an amazing book. And it seems that this book was exactly what I needed to read at the very moment I read it. There were passages that I highlighted, those messages are important for me to revisit. There were parts that I read where I felt like I could clearly picture Hannah in her red shoes. A beautifully moving life story, one that can draw out raw emotions, tap into the basic fears most, if not all, parents share. Thank you for sharing Hannah's Gift with all of us.

This is such a sad book but at the same time makes you feel so thankful. Was crying at nearly every page. I first read this book a few years ago and tried to re-read it last year, but just couldn't as my daughter is the same age as the little girl Hannah, and I just couldn't bear reading it
