Hadn’t read this one in many years, but it still hit hard. Reliably sad and beautiful. It captures the wonder of childhood so well. The only thing I noticed as an adult that I didn’t as a child was the fatphobia that crops up throughout; it’s very of the time. But still a fave and one I look forward to sharing with my niece when she’s old enough.
