Summary
Sophie and Emilio spend their days enjoying life’s small discoveries in a tiny seaside village with their best pet friend ‘Sir’ and a mischievous crow. Sophie’s regular visits and gift exchanges with her great-uncle lead to teachings about how value is determined by the intentions of the heart. The wisdom found in Old Man Tom’s eloquent quote, ‘It’s all in the nature of things’, sums up this poetic tale of friendship, overcoming loss, and rites of passage.
