Someone recommended this in response to a post of mine on LinkedIn, and I fell in love with the first story itself. This was a sweet book - quiet and calm with glowworms, cows, a moose, and strawberries. Oh yes, also a boy called Vanya who finds happiness most days because he looks for it every day.
I wish I could be Vanya. :-D
