We could start a debate here about it as a children’s book. But that would be too long.

Here is the first chapter:
And here is the link to the playlist, with all the chapters.

Perfect timing for me, Emma. I’m trying to read a pop-up version of the book in French, setting a goal to read a chapter a day.
