Alice is a big hit here and so are Chirri and Chirra! I hadn’t considered the parallels between the two .. the beauty of the chirri and chirra books for us is in their journey not necessarily their destination .., which is sort of what I take from Alice too!

Same boat here -- my siblings are 12 and 11 years older than I am and have a different mother so didn't live with me, so I was functionally an only child. I was also deeply in love with Alice in Wonderland (the movie) as a child.

You've done a beautiful job comparing Alice (the book) to the Chirri and Chirra series -- I've never thought of the parallels before! And those books are just so dreamy, lovely, and amazing.
