This was a wonderful book. It has a wonderful emotional depth and intelligence. Goto's portrayal of an older non-white female protagonist is so different from much of modern media, and I found it very refreshing. I also loved the illustration, I found it to be very endearing. I would 100% recommend this book to read.
