A beautifully written children's book but I wonder if children would appreciate or understand its meaning or maybe it's the adults who wouldn't understand.
I think it becomes harder to face your emotions and take the time to understand them as you age. Sometimes we sweep things under the carpet because we just can't deal.
How many times have we said it's ok, it doesn't matter, I don't care, when in fact it does.
How many times have we neglected to sit down and examine things, the root of the matter, and chose to busy ourselves with other more "important" things. We busy ourselves to forget, to brush things off to the side.
How many times have we chosen to hide our deepest feelings, sorrows, because we do not want to be seen as weak, as emotional? Why is it so hard to talk about these things? Why is it so hard to be vulnerable?
