COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Great book! submitted by Hilbarn on June 26, 2016, 3:46pm We just randomly checked this book from the library for my 5 year old daughter and what a find. It's a real gem. Has a great message and is written so well. Drawings are nice too. It's a thoughtful read and well worth giving it a try. I liked it so much I bought a copy for us to have forever.

A Picture Book for Adults submitted by Meginator on August 21, 2021, 9:48am This thematically rich and surprisingly mournful picture book took my breath away; while the story will make sense to younger readers, adults will find unexpected depth in this simple tale of a child who finds themself grappling with the dissolution of the environment in which they made their home. The illustrations add important details while conjuring fantastic, yet fully believable and uncomfortably familiar, environments in a visual style that matches the tone of the prose. This is a book engineered to make readers think, deeply, about what is important and about the nature of progress, all while delivering an effective narrative through-line that works on several levels. The effect is exquisite.
