One of the most beautiful books I own.
I love that the themes of asking for help and persistence are so seamlessly threaded through the pages. These are two important qualities we need to share with all ages.

Beautifully stated, sad but true.

I tried explaining to someone born in the 1980s that I had read this book before 1984. It was a confusing concept. 😵‍💫
