The Ogress and the Orphans

A huge theme of this book is kindness and it is refreshing. The audio book was good and I put it on about 2x speed ~ I got this book free at the library through libby!

Kelly Barnhill's books tend to be a slow burn, but great care is taken in the details and world/character building that it really pays off. A great story, an ogress take care of the town who hasn't seen kindness in a long time. Her fav. orphan's get involved in the town. This comes from during trump and seeing a TON of unkindess going around. You can tell this was in inspiration for the dragon character and her response is to give generously, patiently, and using kindness to reach the citizens of the town.
I also like the importance of libraries and books the author used through-out as well. Every town needs a library and it really does help build a community.
