Each tends the other. Neither could carry on alone.\"\n\nPim is the kind of character you want to carry home: small, steadfast, worn in the right places. Hana Ridgewell narrated children's audiobooks in London for years before writing sleep stories of her own — and you can feel that care in every line. Pour something warm. Let the cobblestones go honey-gold around you.\nThanks for keeping this open for all of us. Sweet dreams.\n— Ian & Alex\nIncludes mentions of: Mention of Loss, Memory.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/9gIw88uHvLS0EdeM-kIUHp_rvJVk3dZ7GBZI_3iXKvI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kOTBm/ZWU5MmQzNTI5N2M1/MTc4NmMzN2Y4NDE1/ZmU4ZS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
