I have loved this book from childhood because of one concept that always resonates with me: Children have such vivid imaginations and in this story it completely changes their view on the world from a negative to a positive one which helps them overcome their own personal obstacles. The story reminds me that as we grow up we lose that magic and become more cynical with age. I prefer to believe.
