Osmo Unknown and the Eightpenny Woods by Catherynne M. Valente

5.0

So, so, so adorable. I listened to this as an audiobook and felt like an 8-year-old whose British grandfather was reading her a bedtime story. It all starts when the forest falls in love with the valley, and from there we meet a Pangirlin, a Crabybara, Quidnunks, so many more new species, and the dear reluctant Osmo Unknown. This was a lovely journey that warmed my heart.
