A short story collection, I really liked my time with this, it's the end of the year and I needed something short, I was hoping it would be more light hearted than it was but as it goes I still enjoyed it.
The illustrations in this book are really lovely and made it feel a bit magical or like a story book, and most of these stories are about young kids and their lives.
I enjoyed some of the stories more than others which is why I gave it 3.5 stars, but i truly did think this was a worthwhile read.
