Just so good… a beautiful story about the scary and exciting process of individuating, bridging out of childhood. We see the developmental stages that await Kiki represented by those who mentor and care for her on her journey: an independent artist developing her craft, a caregiver with fulfilling roles in family and community, and an old woman no longer focused on her own development trying to connect by giving.
Growth, even in a safe and nurturing world, is daunting and thrilling.
