this was sweet, and i'm glad it's out there and exists, but just didn't have much of an impact on me. much of the writing felt like it was trying too hard to sound deep and meaningful. however, i really liked the translator's note and this imprint's mission to bring picture books to the ya and adult age ranges of publishing (i also rarely read books set in Africa, so this was also nice for that. i've had a hard time finding translated books from Africa). so if you're at all interested, this is a very quick book if you just wanna give it a try and see what you think of it
