The Mother Goose Diaries

The diary style gives a fresh perspective on familiar tales, but I wonder if the author wanted to make the characters more relatable. Was this approach planned from the start or developed during writing?

The story kept a lighthearted feel, but I was curious whether darker themes were intentionally toned down for middle-grade readers or if they might appear in future books.

Reading about these stories through someone's personal notes adds a layer of intimacy. Do you think this makes the magic feel more real or more playful?
