This book, while short, is beautiful. A majority of the themes in this book are things I have been working on believing for myself. This feels like something I could pick up, open to any page, and get a little reminder that there is no right way to exist. 

The method to getting this to the reader is charming and comforting. The illustrations are gorgeous and every page tells a story that is relatable for so many. 

I've been told my rating scale is quite harsh, but I can't think of anything other than 5 stars for this read.
