Why read it?
1 author picked Marikit and the Ocean of Stars as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
When I became a parent, I was excited to read many of the epic adventure stories of my childhood with my son.
Unfortunately, many of them did not age well, and I find myself longing for something that captures the spirit of the books I used to love with healthier, more contemporary messages about life. Marikit fulfilled this desire for me on every level.

From Kate's list on Hero’s Journey for introverts who love adventure.
