A story about deep compassion
The author manages to weave sorrow into this pretty story with remarkable authenticity. When we discover that Nonnu’s father is no more, it struck me as a message of courage... Appaka is also a story about deep compassion, and the kind of unconditional bond that children form with animals... there is a certain ripeness to it, of a simple love that reaches far beyond places we imagine possible.
