Review
This picture book, the first for Litchfield, is lovely. It immediately pulls the reader into the story in all of the right ways. The story is simply, but well-told. The illustrations, rendered in mixed-media, are perfectly aligned with the story and include details to satisfy your art-loving young readers. And the ending, a lesson in friendship and the importance, power, and joy of home, is deftly delivered. Highly Recommended for all collections. Cream of the Crop nominee.
Overall Book Score: excellent
