The Ogress and the Orphans by Kelly Barnhill (2022) Algonquin Books

This is a book that everyone needs to read.  Ms. Barnhill gives us much more than a fairy tale about creatures that understand goodness and greed.  In my opinion, the story is on a par with Gulliver’s travels as satire on our current world.  Here creatures can be something other than they look.  Happiness depends on goodness and children can start remarkable behavior amongst neighbors.
