They are moving from a troubled past to a better future, thus teaching the readers about taking it step-by-step, but never giving up. The story of a girl and her fox friend who have to leave their home after a terrible fire engulfs the castle they lived in.What stands out most for me personally is the idea that the journey that the girl and her Fox friend find themselves on is obviously really tough and really scary, but they keep going.
