However, she soon learns that being small comes with its own special kind of magic. Through Sophie’s adventures, young readers are reminded that life is filled with moments of anticipation and joy, even when plans don’t go quite as expected.

Kajangu, who immigrated to the U.S. at a young age, wanted to inspire his daughter with the message that “almost” isn’t a setback; rather, it marks the beginnings of new stories.
