Told in the form of a bedtime story with simple yet beautifully worded phrasing, and copies of real black-and-white photos of Harry Colebourn, Winnie, and Christopher Robin! A wonderful read.

I love family history picture books! My great grandfather was also in the Canadian WWI Army so I loved that aspect, too. This one and Home in the Woods will be joining my home library soon :)

The illustrations, as evidenced by the Caldecott, are beautiful and do an excellent job of tying the branches of this story together. I didn't love the text, though. I found the mother and child telling the story part distracting and interrupting, and then when I found out the reason for it, it felt a little self-important. But the story of the real Winnie the Pooh is fascinating.

Such an adorable origin story. The pictures at the end tie everything together well.
