I finally found one of my fave children books. It gave me so much hope and imagination.

We all now want to go to faraway places, and then when we grow old we'll live by the sea and be sure to make the world more beautiful.

I read this little short book as an ebook after looking for books in Spanish. I decided to just save it to my wishlist on overdrive in case it was in Spanish which it wasn't but when I saw it was a children's classics I knew I had to give it a read. After all, I hadn't read a children book with illustrations in it for a while. I put on a 'cute instrumentals' playlist I found on Spotify and began reading. The illustrations and the story in this book went so well together and that is why I give it 5 stars. For everything. Will read again when I need a spark in my life.

Whimsical with a sweet message. Writing is a little clunky, but the illustrations are perfect.

I love and hate this book at the same time. Very poor example as far as environmental responsibility/conservation goes, but lots of other important and beautiful points. So I read it and discuss the good and the bad.
