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
