This is why I enjoy reading children's books. You have done justice to this lovely message conveyed in the book. Wonder why early school education does not begin by teaching young kids these values. Gradually but surely, the world will be a better place.

What a beautiful review. I really appreciate how you mentioned that this book isn’t just for kids — adults can take away so much from it too. May’s journey sounds like a reminder we all need sometimes: to love ourselves, flaws and all.
