It‘s a cute little book that drives home its (rather simple) lesson. It’s somewhere between a kids book and adult book with a general lighthearted mood but also some dark undercurrents. I‘m always happy to see an author who is able to imagine a fantasy world without homophobia (although fat- and xenophobia are still striving).
Graphic: Fatphobia
