I just unlocked a new comfort read 🥺💗
It brought me such joy and solace during a rather difficult time in my life and I can see myself rereading this book many times in the future. How peculiar that I'm learning patience, perseverance and other life lessons from a little girl, who begins this book at the age of 7, while I am already a grown woman of 21! Sara really is most precious.
I doubt you would find kids with this kind of mindset, especially in this day and age, but that's the beauty of literature! It doesn't HAVE to be real or realistic in order for it to be life-changing.
