Noah reflects on the importance of imagination, explaining that understanding others’ points of view is key to resolving disagreements. A poignant line from the gnome in the book drives this home: “Every person is just an obstacle unless you try to understand them.”

Illustrated by Sabina Hahn, the book’s simple yet whimsical watercolors perfectly complement the narrative, making it a thoughtful gift for Trevor Noah fans, young and old alike. – Mariclair Smit 5/5 stars
