Who is the ideal audience youre trying to reach with the book?Young children, boys and girls.
From someone touching your hand to touching your hair.
To the point where even a dragon or a mermaid would be fascinated by it.

Part of what works so well about the book is the specificity of the subject.
Thats another thing I want to address.
