This is the most adorable book! Short and sweet and whimsical, I read it in one sitting and finished with a smile on my face. It's aimed toward children 6 and above, and while I don't think my sister (who's 7 and a prolific reader) could quite sit down and read this easily yet, it would make the PERFECT bedtime story for kids that age, or even a little younger.
The plot was simple, but that's part of the charm! I loved the pure emphasis on Nova's love for her papa and the simplicity and wonder of it all made me think back to my childhood imaginations. Each character, though only briefly in the story, added to the fun. Also a cat named Luna? So cute.
And a shoutout to the illustrator! The cover is so pretty (those colors!), and even reading this in e-book form, the illustrations were adorable and added even more charm to this story. A great addition, even for someone who doesn't usually pay much attention to illustrations. The style was perfect.
Overall, there wasn't any content to be aware of (other than a child being up all night and worrying about her papa, if that would distress your child?), and I wouldn't hesitate to loan copies of this to all of my little siblings and cousins. I hope to purchase a paperback version soon. Highly recommend this cute little read!
