I don’t quite know what to say about this book except I loved it and loved reading it to my girls. We laughed out loud a lot and I cried too. Beautifully written and definitely a classic. When I asked “what do you want to remember about this book”, my eldest answered “well, I learned you can’t always tell what people are like by looking at them. They might have sadness you don’t see”. What a good and beautiful piece of children’s lit!
