It was so cute, heartwarming and so sweet with its beautiful illustrations. It's such an amazing way to speak about these kind of difficult themes and by adding the love of nature, it was really good and it made me cry, if you've a heart, you will be touched by this story. I might read more by this author in the future if her books are as amazing as this one.

Ok this was absolutely adorable while still talking about "hard things". The artwork was beautiful as well. I think this is a wonderful book for anyone.

What a sweet little story, my god.
I already knew I would love the art but I wasn't expecting the exploration of grief. This would be a great way to introduce kids to the idea of processing big, negative feelings like grief or anger; the visual of the little monsters is both stylistically and thematically really effective.
Willow is a really well done character and her relationship with Pilu is adorable and only further emphasizes the importance of communicating with the people you love.
Just overall a really nice, poignant story about a young girl's experiences with friendship, family, grief, and learning to process her emotions. Loved it, would recommend.
