![]() Elsa and Granny are best friends. They share secret stories and jokes and they cause trouble as a pair. However, when Granny leaves the story, Elsa has to navigate her reality with a thick layer of fairy-tale spread across it. She meets monsters and princesses, she eats dreams and chocolate milk. Elsa learns how to say goodbye as things end and to welcome new beginnings. Ms. Deacon loaned this book to me because we share a love for this author's other books, Beartown and Us Against Them. I appreciate the imagination in this book and how different the writing style is from the aforementioned books. However, I had a difficult time making the connections the author seems to have intended, which I believe may be due to the text being translated from Swedish to English. Regardless, it was a lovely read with some nicely illustrated lessons and unique characters.
