Momo en de tijdspaarders

The story's exploration of how time is valued and wasted feels so relevant today. I wonder what motivated Ende to write about this in a children's book.

Momo's ability to listen and understand others really resonated with me, but I felt the story's pace slowed down during some parts. Was that intentional?

There are so many layers to 'Momo', blending fairy tale charm with deeper philosophical ideas. I'm curious what aspects of his literary background shaped this balance.
