I loved this book so much. The story is beautiful and I want so much to give the main characters a hug. It covers what some may say is a controversial topic, and others may say the way it plays out is unrealistic because of what is ultimately being discussed, but for me this presented hope just as much as realism. It's a bit of a fairytale I hope will come true in the future for both children and adults.
