When You Trap a Tiger

I read this in winter when I wanted something brave but gentle. The magic rules made sense to me because they were tied to stories the family told, not random sparkles.

Notes

• I liked how food scenes carried emotion without explaining too much.
• The tiger is scary and sad at the same time, which felt honest.

A reflection

It made me think about what we lose when we do not ask grandparents questions early enough — and what we can still choose to listen for.
