‘A vibrantly artsy wind-down book.’
—Publishers Weekly

‘As with many well-written picture books that appear at first glance to be for the very young, in the hands of an imaginative teacher they can become powerful teaching tools for all ages, and this one has great potential too.’
—Barbara Braxton, teacher librarian

‘It is both a lovely exploration of the bond between parent and child, and the beauty of stillness and quiet appreciation of our natural world. The illustrations are so very striking that they will instantly engage young readers.’
—Sue Warren, Just So Stories
