This Novella is only 76 pages and I cried 4 times. I cried because of the story, but I also cried because it reminded me of the relationship I had with my Grandpa and it made me miss him terribly. This was a really touching story.

This book made me almost cry at several points. I’m so sad. Amazing writing, I loved the weather metaphors.
