Reviews
“The text has a nice rhythm and the language is simple, yet filled with poetic imagery…. The illustrations are an appealing blend of cut-paper, collages and watercolor painting.” ―School Library Journal
“The enjoyment quotient is boosted considerably by the first-time illustrator’s cheery torn-paper collages. Punctuating the text with sunny bursts of color, they infuse these pages with an amiable brio.” ―Publishers Weekly
