Our hero's mother sang it to her as a child, and it comforts her when she's worried.
It's particularly appropriate because much of the theme of the story is about standing by your family, whether that family is biological, your found/chosen family, or your time clones.
#WritingWonders #DaySix : What is your MC's morning routine like?
Dorothy starts off the day with breakfast, while reading the latest issue of Quantum Magazine, or Peter Woit's blog, Not Even Wrong.
She'll then go for a run with Toto. She's always tried to keep herself fit. When you're thirteen years old and might need to run away from an abusive step-parent, being physically fit can help you get away faster.
