This was really helpful in reframing my mind for my out -of-the-box children. Nothing groundbreaking, but just helpful reminders and encouragement.

This book was tremendous and very well done. The only reason it isn't 5 stars is because I'm trying to reserve it for my personal adoration, and while I don't have anything bad to say about it, I wasn't overcome with emotion and love as others have reported. A solid 4.75 stars!

Nothing too special but I appreciated the tweaks to the normal time travel trope and the view of grief. Negatives are that I didn't really feel attached to the characters or dialogue.
