I'd been looking for a book that better detailed racism in Canada- this was a great place to start!

I knew I liked this story - Mickey's Christmas Carol is THE adaptation I know y'all are all muppet stans but give Mickey a chance - I used to read a children's abridged version when I was a kid but it's been a while. So going into the OG story, I knew what I was getting into, but WOW this hits so differently when you're 23 and have just completed your 6th Christmas in retail... wild.

I aspire to be a writer like N.K. Jemisin. As someone who love her novels, I am pleasantly surprise that she can pack the same world-building and character arcs into a short story and make it seem so effortless.
