As a child and now a grown up- it's perfect.

This book introduced me to the idea of class and social justice when I was wee, as an adult it taught me how to be a parent.

Peter's narration is beautiful.

Fabulous

It’s a very simple story but a very detailed story that made me feel happy because there were lots of kind people in it. Danny and his Dad are happy together which made me think about me and my family.
