Dear Mili by Maurice Sendak, Wilhelm Grimm

5.0

Well, that was grim, tho most gorgeously illustrated. A tale of a widowed mother and her last surviving child just as war breaks out. The child, Mili, is sent deep into the forest for safety, being optimistically told to return in 3 days. Enchanted, she returns in30 years. The between is beauty and love. If you can omit the last page, it’s heartwarming. Read it, breaking

I can't see little kids understanding this book, much less liking it. I, however, loved Sendak's illustrations; they're very similar in style to those in [b:Outside Over There|120711|Outside Over There|Maurice Sendak|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1356057847s/120711.jpg|1060865]. If you love Sendak as much as I do, give this one a chance. Be forewarned, though: this book is very Grimm.
