This is such a beautiful, heartwarming story. I absolutely loved it!
What a magical story about the magic of stories and the people who tell them. Truly a beautiful book, nothing I write about it will do it justice.

This is a really lovely exploration of family, identity, and loss. And tigers!
Still recovering from their father’s death years before, two sisters are moved to the small town where their grandmother lives by their mother. They soon find out it’s because their grandmother is sick and doesn’t have long to live.
I loved how the magical realism/fantasy elements were integrated into this story — it worked really well because it was so tied to the Big Feelings the main character was having. I did feel the tiger stuff got a tad repetitive, so I was going back and forth between 4 & 5 stars. But the end made me cry SO much that I rounded up.
I also really loved the author’s note.
