A Extraordinária Jornada de Edward Tulane

Edward's character feels so alive and layered despite being a porcelain rabbit. I wonder what inspired the author to create such depth in an inanimate object.

There were moments that felt surprisingly heartbreaking, which made me think about how children's books can handle complex emotions. Was that the author's intention?

The way Edward's travels mirror internal growth is so compelling. I'm curious whether this idea came from personal experiences or a broader theme the author wanted to explore.
