I can't remember, but only children's books makes me cry. Both as a child and now.
Idk, theres a honestly, rawness, innocence and empathy (and the illustrations of course) in them that adult /lit/ don't have, or tries to hard at.
Maybe its a nordic childrens's literature thing

I've never ever heard anyone mention that book here. That book has helped me thru tough times. What made you cry? For me it was when he sees her at the other end of the street looking for cocks to suck.
