Wow! From the very 1st page Tiff! Our sleepless nights are felt and seen and expressed so lovingly, our exhaustion held so delicately and tells the reader, we can be patient even though we have no sleep, it speaks to the strength of our children Each page is an adventure and a teaching moment, with restful pauses that give the reader time to be transported into another space. And the page where Mama defends her child and holds on to her dignity simultaneously is just so powerful and necessary. Giving readers layered perspective and a coping technique. I loved following Aiden through his day and felt so protective of him, and even felt anxious for him on the page where he looked so small in the crowd of people and voices… and these illustrations!!! How beautiful!! The snails!!! This book has my whole heart

I don't know why but this beautiful book made me cry. I guess I am just in that sort of mood today. The musical words, so much love enveloping it all, and its voice, so important.

I mentioned before in another post, but I would very much like to try to translate this for everyone here in Japan if you could somehow trust me to do that.
