So cleverly written, beautifully illustrated and gorgeously hopeful.

Re-read
I picked this up because the concept was intriguing: a back-to-front book where the meaning read in the text depended on perspective. I appreciate that the same text can be construed quite differently depending on context, so perhaps I oversold the concept to myself? Certainly an interesting book but if you are expecting an epiphany at the end, you may be left underwhelmed. I suspect a school-aged reader would better appreciate this.
