Reviews

"A sweet serenade to our shared belonging... To listen takes time, too — to learn to hear and befriend the world within and the world without, to attend to the quiet voice of life and heart alike." - Brainpickings

"A thoughtful offering, expressed in subtle poetic tempo, about shared humanity and the nourishing world." - Publishers Weekly

"Readers of all ages will love this poetic, gentle book about understanding and appreciating the universe for both its individual components and how they are intertwined with one another." - School Library Journal
