I loved this book! It was a bit young for me but it reminds me a lot of books I really loved in middle/high school. The main character, Petra is so hopeful and resourceful. The message of this book is how important stories are to us and how they are ultimately what makes the human experience. It really highlights the importance of culture, sharing that culture, and treating each other with kindness. It also touches on being thankful for those who came before us and paved the way for what we have now. It's so sweet and I really enjoyed listening to it.
