This book has done It's purpose perfectly. I needed a book to help me fall asleep and it worked every single time ♡ As for the content of the book, it was cute but nothing extraordinary, I actually don't know why this book is so popular. In the end it's about how preconceived ideas can influence our emotions, relationships and even our bodies. But I don't like the father that much.
He experienced extreme grief over his lost wife but ruined his child in the process. I know it's just a children's book and not everything has to be a deep spiritual journey BUT my personal experience was affected by this.
All this being said my review should be taken with a grain of salt as I slept through more than half of the book.
