aku baca buku ini karena buku ini diterjemahkan oleh ibuku dan aku juga ikut serta menerjemahkan di bab-bab awal. Buku ini tidak terlalu menarik menceritakan tentang anak penderita autisme. Walau begitu dalam waktu satu jam saja nampaknya buku ini dapat langsung diselesaikan.

Beautiful story. Reads like a poem. Recognizes challenges and gifts of an autistic child without stigmatization. Highly recommend.

I loved this. It was simple, but beautiful. So lyrical and well-written. It's nice to stumble across a gem like this and just enjoy reading for awhile.

This a cute little book about a girl who gets to know her autistic neighbor. It was translated from French and does a nice job explaining autism in a very poetic way. I like the side story of her trying to teach a dog how to be a dog again, and not a spoiled pet. A quick read and very beautifully written.

I had to put this book down multiple times to keep from crying. as the aunt of an autistic boy the same age as Matthew, this story hit me so much harder because it is so accurate to the experience I've had.
the star deduction is only because I felt like other characters were underdeveloped

This book was really good. Short and sweet, it's a nice story for a quick read. It has a nice plot line to it, and the even though it's translated I didn't find any mistakes. If you are looking for a short, sweet book to read I'd definitely suggest this.
