Minor: Ableism and Bullying
bennysbooks's review against another edition
4.5
Gorgeous illustrations and whimsical stories, infused with love and magic. Both of my kids (5 and 1.5) sat through the whole thing. 5 said he "loved it, but only a little" (whatever that means 😅). It was nearly a perfect read for me, but I thought the last story could have been tighter. This is going to stick with me, and I'm already looking forward to reading it with them again!

Minor: Ableism
There are a few characters who use ableist slurs and bully the disabled main character. The kids who do this only appear briefly - they are not the focus of the text at all, but rather serve to contrast the world of love, care, and magic that Yu'er and her Grandpa create for themselves.
