"Rounding it out would be Inside Out. I remember seeing that with my family on one of our family vacations during the summer, and just how they interpreted emotions to kids. There’s such an emphasis in society to “Be happy, be happy, be happy!” but you have to give kids the permission to feel sad. You have to give them permission to feel the range of emotions. That’s really healthy. And how creatively it was done, and it didn’t hurt that Amy Poehler was the voice of Joy. It just worked. I’m a huge Pixar fan, and it just completely worked."

Family friendly animated film, that basically turns the Yeti/Sasquatch/Bigfoot legend on its head: they exist (living in a society on the too of a mountain above the cloud line), don't believe humans do and are terrified of the same, basically believing humans to be monsters.

Following an accidental meeting, then, what follows is essentially a culture clash when a certain Big foot discovers (despite what he has always been told) that we do exist, and brings a 'Smallfoot' back to his people to prove his point. Said Smallfoot, however, might have his own agenda...

Townsend has a style which reminds me of Nick Hornby with the bittersweet humour and canny observations of the human condition and society.

This is an interesting book which raised lots of questions for me but didn't reach any conclusions. Why are we here? What it feels like to be taken for granted. How we often settle for second-best in life.

There is a lot of sadness in the characters of this book, centring around the melancholy of Eva. Yet Townsend peppers her book with plenty of chuckles to keep the book enjoyable and compelling
