Reviews
An appealing story about grief and acceptance. Recommended for public and school libraries as a tool for children who are experiencing grief. The tone is lighter than in many texts that deal with loss, and the book lends itself to discussion. --School Library Journal
Exhilarating . . . Graceful text and evocative illustrations combine in this story about the rewards of facing fears and trying something new.--Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
Rich in metaphor without an ounce of heavy-handedness, this timeless fable should be left out for a little one to come to and
contemplate on their own, when the need arises.--Booklist, Starred Review
