私のために作られた扉

My son asked me to read it three times in a row last night—the page about Grandma's hug really got to him. The signed bookplate makes it feel extra special for our home library.

The way it captures that painful moment through a child's eyes while still wrapping everything in reassurance really moved me. My six-year-old asked honest questions after we read it together, which led to a conversation I'd been nervous to start.

The signed bookplate made it feel extra special, and the story’s honest look at a racist encounter is handled with such care. My kids asked to flip back to the boy’s face on the last page just to sit with that feeling of love.
