It’s that rare feat, a tremendous philosophical insight presented in a way that anyone, at any age, can grasp. Wow. Of all my childhood books, The Giving Tree and Hope for the Flowers really did change my early world, but after reading Momo in my 30s, I thought, Ahhhhhh, this is the one book I wish I had read as a kid! Then reread at every subsequent chapter of my life. Yes, this sounds cliché, but I truly think this is essential reading for — here goes — children of all ages!
