4.0

All of this book was a delightful, seasonally appropriate gift to read, but the last 2 chapters elevated it and made it really special to me. It would’ve been too easy to make this like many other children’s books, but the twinge of bittersweetness at the end made the coming-of-age narrative feel all the more real.
