I first read this book when I was young, which makes sense, because it's a children's book, and it had a profound effect on me. I reread it as an adult and cried slightly less than I cried as a child. It's phenomenally written, and I don't think it's just nostalgia that makes me say it was just as impactful as an adult as it was when I was a child.
The journey Edward Tulane went on is one most of us go through: self discovery, loss, love, grief. It's an excellent way to introduce the wonders and the troubles of human connection to young people. I highly recommend everyone read this book at some point.
