I loved the cute art and moving story, but it’s truly Nguyen’s sensitive and compassionate handling of grief and navigating volatile emotions that make this a must-read for all ages. I adored the complexity of the friendship between Willow and Pilu, the mental health representation, the nature analogies, especially the mushrooms, and Willow’s growth throughout the story. I can’t recommend it enough.
