Thank you so much! x
I can only echo Lucy. I listened to the audiobook for the @trapone.bsky.social podcast and we all adored it. It is a fabulous collection of stories and everyone should rush out and buy it.

Thank you @paulmagrs.bsky.social and @stevecolewriter.bsky.social for this wonderful book. Stories that show us the familiar from a new perspective, remind us to look at life through others' eyes, and that entertain and move, with fabulous illustrations. May there always be stories and storytellers!
