Olá, Universo

The story gives voice to characters with very different backgrounds and personalities. I wonder what inspired the choice to tell the story through multiple viewpoints.

The book balances humor and seriousness beautifully, but I’m curious if that tone was deliberate to make emotional moments more accessible for middle graders.

The close-knit setting really emphasizes the themes of connection and understanding. I wonder if a different setting would have changed the story's impact.
