This 2022 edition is a beautiful adaptation from the animated story; I feel like I should get my hands on the original now. There are both explicit and implicit messages that run through this book which are powerful and important. The illustrations are captivating and the relationship between the word and the image conveys so much more meaning than each part alone. 
This text is a classic example of picturebooks not being exclusive to a child readership. If you haven't read, please do. It's lovely.
