    I am a single dad of a 2 1/2-year-old girl, and I will tell you that this show has been helping me learn how to be a good caretaker. I try to think about how Nana would handle a situation, and minus the silliness I emulate her same loving tone and patience. Also the stuff like genuinely getting excited over the small things, and making sure I turn the pages slowly when I read to her. ❤️🦄🐛

I first saw the Instagram clips and then started watching snippets of the episodes on RUclips… I find myself tearing up and super comforted by the way Nana shows her love to Mona, and I’m in my thirties! And how timely it is for this show to go viral especially when there’s so much going on in this world right now.

    For a year now i have been writing a book based on a character i made in my head a few years ago as i was deeply depressed and suffered from anxiety. I have developed the character throughout the years. That character is basically just a slightly older version of Mona. The difference is that my book is not AS children oriented as Nanalan is. Its more of a family friendly story that also deals with heavy subjects like death, loss and war. I made my character as a form of therapeutic counterweight to much of what i see in the world, things that i hate; egocentrism, cynicism, corruptness, selfishness, hypocricy, and much of what i consider as outright evil. I made her as this embodiment of innocense, wonder, curiosity and goodness. Someone to which the concept of being hurtful and bully others for their own gain is so foreign of a concept it simply does not exist in their mind. When i came across a timtok of these two characters, at first i didn't think that much of it, but after seeing more of them, and especially Mona, its almost as if someone made my character before me. and it felt like i was seeing my own character. This was so emotionally powerful to me that i almost broke down. Mona resembles my own made up character so much, and it feels like she represents the same things. I never would have guessed that a puppet character could have such profound emotional impact on me.
