An absolutely brilliant book for those times that you just want to be left alone. I absolutely loved the adorable artwork and the refrain of “Leave me alone”. I could definitely see children enjoying this one, yelling along and giggling with the repetition of the phrase.
I also really enjoyed the whimsical nature of the book in showing just how far the main character would go to get some time alone to work on her knitting. The ending is heartfelt and perfect, a wonderful read all around.
This book shows that it’s okay to want to be alone sometimes, to need a little peace and quite for yourself. A lovely and humorous way to show that we all could use a little time to ourselves at least every once in a while.
