Simple, yet amazing

This story can be read as a children's book about family, parents-children relationship, ambition, strong will, and freedom, and it can also be read by more sophisticated adult readers who would find symbols and deeper meanings in the small details of the story. Either way, this book is a source of wisdom, transmitted through simple language and an easy to follow plot.
