I re-read this to refresh for the sequel, and I am so, so, so glad I did. What an absolutely incredible delight. Holds up and fills my heart to bursting just as much the second time around. Can't wait to read the sequel.

Oh, what can I say about this marvelous magical book! Heartwarming, a delight, beautiful. What a breath of fresh air to have a main character like Linus: a middle aged man, stuck in his ways but very efficient at his job, who needs to be shown the color that the world has to offer. Doesn't hurt that cerulean is my OG favorite color. Ah, loved this book so much, can't wait to read it again and again.
