“At one time most of my friends could hear the bell, but as years passed, it fell silent for all of them…Though I’ve grown old, the bell still rings for me as it does for all who truly believe.”

The end is what made this five stars. What a way to address the dilemma of adulthood. I love the way that those who write children’s books such as this find such beautiful ways to draw bridges between their adult and child selves. My takeaway is that we need to hang on to that childlike sense of joy and wonder forever.
