This is one of the most important and beautifully written books I’ve ever had the privilege of reading. It should most definitely be required reading for school aged children and adults alike.

Lovely and so well written. The family felt real, the parenting struggles felt relatable, and the love for the characters was palpable.

4.5 stars. Great story of the struggles of parenthood when faced with additional issues to adjust to. Beautiful writing. I could nitpick a couple of plot points but overall lovely story
