I now get why my Mother loves this book so much!! Probably the cutest memoir ever written. Highly recommend that educators and parents give this a read and find inspiration in Master Kobayashi. I adore how love, loss, and grief are explored through the eyes of little Totto-chan; it was a deeply refreshing detour from the usual adult, mature approaches to them.

Ratings;
5/5 for the Malayalam translation
