My Name Is Mina by David Almond
5.0
Skellig was my absolute favourite book as a child, and I only found out it has a prequel a few months ago - I was miles beyond excited, and for good reason. This turned out to be such a wonderful novel, although notably different from Skellig in its approach.
Still, the tenderness it has and cultivates, the colour and beauty in its philosophies…they can teach a child so many essential lessons. About creativity, freedom, boldness. About being curious, learning to be and love themselves, and especially seeing the world around them through the lens of endless wonder.
I’d say this book is a crucial read for any child, but also for every inner child within us. It comes as a guide and reminder to nurture that warm little flame inside, and keep an open eye to the evergiving beauty of this world.
