I’m so happy this story exists!! The original book was beautiful but it was a bunch of vignettes with little connecting to each other. The author came back and fully fleshed out the story, giving these small doodles a story to grasp on to, and what a beautiful story it was!! I first read the original story two years ago, while I was not doing well and I think some of it went over my head. Reading the story now, I felt a deeper connection with the text. I’m so happy to have both versions and can’t wait to watch the film!!
