I've seen this book EVERYWHERE and assumed it was an older classic, so had to give it a try.
It was cute. It reminded me of reading Aesop's fables and the like as a child. If you go into this expecting a story about a boy on an adventure, you wouldn't be wrong, but that's not the point. It leans heavy into the more "self help" side of things, encouraging you to find your life's destiny and go out to seek it. It has a moral and a lesson and it really pushes that on you. Cute for what it was
