Thanks for that link. His comment that he began from children's literature bolsters my impression that the book can be seen as an improved re-working of The Velveteen Rabbit.

Books that had a big impact on me as a young kid were 'The Giving Tree', 'The Lorax', and 'The Velveteen Rabbit'. They were hard lessons. None of them taught a just world.

I think those books left such an impression on me because they were tragic and unresolved. There were dozens of other more simplistic moral tales that went in one ear and out the other, I'm sure.
