“I am but paper, brittle and thin.”
It’s easy to feel fragile and hopeless, stuck in a life that’s less thriving and more surviving, especially in the current climate, and even more so if you’re not what society deems “normal”; but if we can burst the bubble we live in, either by ourselves or with a little help, things start to get just a bit more hopeful.
We need books like these, to open our eyes and burst our bubbles, and show people there’s more to life than division, fear and segregation.

Ive rated the book a face value. But Ive read some things online that mention this book was inspired by the forced removal of indigenous children from their homes. I dont know if that is true or not but in reflecting on it, I dont see this book as justifying or glorifying that. While it deals with an orphanage as a central part of the story, it seems more about humanising children who are in orphanages despite broken government systems.

A very lovely, simple book of the kind of world I wish we all lived in.  The kind of world where one man can make a difference and where those who are different and rejected find the love and acceptance they need
