The most perfect surprise of a book I could have ever found.

I had seen this book appear on my feed a few times, so when I spotted it in the local library I thought I’d give it a read.
I hadn’t expected much, but the illustration style captured me quite quickly.

This is definitely a new favourite.

This book is beautifully written, charmingly illustrated and heartwarmingly crafted. It handles such themes of bullying, race, gender, sexuality, poverty and mythology in the most gentle and subtle way I have ever seen merged into a perfectly age appropriate and empathetic picture book for children.

It isn’t very often that a picture book truly touches my heart, but this one has taken it easily.
