good book
幸せは遠いところにあるんじゃなくていつもすぐそばにあるんだよ、ということを改めて教えてもらいました。 最後のページにこういう文章があります。 ”Paradise lost is sometimes Heaven found" パラダイスもヘブンも楽園という意味がありますが、パラダイスは物質的な満足を与えてくれる場所、天国は精神的な満足を得られる場所、そのように解釈しました。

Fun story with a good message.
Good chidlren's book that teaches a good lesson of appreciating what we have and working to make our situations better and that miracle fixes are not what they are really cracked up to be.
