I loved this book so much that I slowed my reading to not finish it in one go. This is not just a book for kids — it's for all adults too. So much wisdom in the book. It's a book I will keep coming back to.

I really liked the ending! My favourite part was when the boy saw someone else with glasses and realised he wasn't the only one. I learned that the way we see the world comes from inside ourselves.
