Reviews

"A visual and thematic stunner." --Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

"Brown and Paschkis paint a compelling portrait of a man who saw the world as a joyful, complex, and beautiful poem waiting to be unveiled." --Publishers Weekly

"Brown's succinct lines read like a poem themselves, and they emphasize the infinite places writers find inspiration, from seashores to coal mines to the faces of people they love." --Booklist

"Impassioned (story)telling combine with Paschkis's vibrant, decorative style for a book high in child appeal." --School Library Journal

"It all adds up to an intriguing taste of Neruda's themes and concerns, winningly dramatized in the splendor of Paschkis's illustrations." --Horn Book Magazine
