The Borrowers Aloft

The aerial setting adds such a sense of wonder and freedom. I'm curious whether the author always envisioned their world floating above or if it evolved during writing.

The borrowers face some pretty risky situations, but it never felt overly intense. Do you think this balance helps keep young readers engaged without scaring them off?

The playful style makes serious themes approachable, but I'm wondering if it might also oversimplify some challenges, or if that's part of the charm.
