SKY LANTERN

Narrator Kirby Heyborne honors this memoir with a calm tone and an even cadence that exude fatherly love and patience. Heyborne perfectly narrates the author's story of finding a fallen sky lantern on his property in Oregon; in it he found a message from a girl to her absent father: "Love you, Dad. Miss you so much. Steph" Through the Internet, he makes it his mission to find the girl who set it aloft. The story conveys the intense and sometimes complicated relationship between a father and his child. It's also filled with the warm details of the Mikalatos family's daily life. The search that began with a blog post was shared and translated into many languages, touching many hearts. It's sure to impact even more lives through this memorable audiobook. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2016]
