i loved the connection between bear and april, but some of the conversations were honestly poorly written.
although april is a sweet girl, the "not like other girls" mentality is definitely shining through a few times.
nevertheless, i really enjoyed the setting and the story, and it was very easy to read.
the author very obviously wants to inspire the readers to do their own part to help fight against climate change. the way this is executed does leave a lot to be desired when it comes to the conversation about the climate crisis, but it's definitely suitable for children, and it is a children's book after all, so i won't judge it too harshly on that.
