I’ve changed my mind. I think my favorite color must be cerulean after all.

I can’t even begin to form the words to describe how beautiful this book is. Unlike our dear Mr. Baker here, I am incapable of being objective in writing a review (most especially if that book might be a new favorite of mine), so I am only laying out my feelings. 

I fell for the characters faster than what was expected. My heart swells with so much love for Arthur, Linus, Helen, Zoe, and all the children. To tell you the truth, I don’t like kids, but I’m so soft for these children—yes, for every single one of them. This book warmed my stone-cold heart and that’s all I ever needed.
