Such a sad story of the nastiness in some children, counterbalanced by the goodness in most animals. And the illustration is gorgeous!

What an absolutely stunning, memorable story. While our childhoods were very different, I closely identify with many of the childhood feelings you share.

This story is so moving. I imagine more than one child has been saved by a strong connection with an animal, a tree, the starry night sky, and an inner resilience. I love the illustrations.
