My neighbor Totoro

This was one series of books that I really didn't want to end. The art is so whimsical and fun and Mei & Satsuki are brave and sweet! The Totoros are incredibly cute, Cat Bus is both endearingly adorable and kind of creepy. But everything was so perfect.

I ached for their mother and for the girls without her with them. Granny was the perfect surrogate. I wanted to go visit the village and see the giant camphor tree. The sisters' love for each other and their parents made me smile throughout the whole four books.

I just enjoyed every single bit of these books!
