"Most important book written this year"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

One of the most important pieces of writing composed in 2020. Beautifully done. Really makes you think about how we treat our planet. Have bought one for both my boys and god daughter.

"This book sums up 2020"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

It’s a beautiful book and something I want to leave to my great granddaughter when she grows up so she knows about 2020. She is 17months now.

"A really neat story"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Loved it and I think the kids will too :)
