Super cute and heartfelt message of believing in one another. 4⭐️

[Panda Incognito · Rating 3 out of 5]

The illustrations are colorful, kinetic, and uniquely styled, but I found parts of the story confusing, especially since I couldn't tell what was supposed to the girl's imagination versus what was actually happening.

Cute book about pretending but also knowing that your parents do believe in you even if it may not seem like it because they don't let you do certain things to keep you safe.
