A delightfully whimsical book that deals in deceptively heavy themes, but handles them with ease. A perfect summer read.

I really enjoyed the story and the way the message blended in with the story telling. I found it a bit on the nose in places, but I love the exploration of the idea that the system can sometimes be the problem. And that we are more than our differences

This book is in my top 100 books of all time! It invites you on this journey with many fun and very lovable characters. Its reminds you it’s the little things like a button or a song, maybe a touch of someone’s hand in yours or even a dance with someone you care for.
