It's a very quick and simple read but I find the story to be relatively moving and the illustrations add to the experience

This story has a nickname in English -- The Korean Charlotte's Web. I think it is a good to make parallels between the stories. Both involve a sense of longing to belong, love, loss, an adopted family, and self sacrifice. I teared up at the end, for sure. This edition has beautiful minimalistic illustrations at the start of each chapter.
A beautiful little fable about following your dreams, courage and motherhood. Loved it!
