Thanks NetGalley, Penguin Random House Canada, and Puffin Canada for this cute and fun arc!

5/5 stars!

I just loved this book! The art was lovely, and Chino was just so adorable!! Her little bunny, too cute. This was a fun read, and seeing Chino interacting with all of her family was so touching. I've already got a few on order for my store!!
