A review by toggle_fow
Daughter of the Mountains by Kurt Wiese, Louise S. Rankin

5.0

I randomly found this book at a Goodwill when I was like, eight years old maybe. At this point I had not the first clue about any type of life outside my own very narrow experience, and the descriptions and details about Tibet and India blew my mind. It's not written by someone from there, so I don't know if everything is completely accurate or not, but the sheer mind-broadening effect of encountering so many new concepts was unforgettable to me as a kid. Even now I still really enjoy Momo's journey, and the way everything works out is super satisfying.

("EVERYTHING WORKS OUT TOO PERFECTLY, THERE'S NO WAY THAT'S REALISTIC!" Okay Lord Grimdark McEdgelord, but consider... that's the way I WANT everything to work out in my children's books, thank you.)
