"Jennifer Poulter has created an achingly beautiful story of love and loss, of breaking apart and putting back together. Sarah Davis has masterfully captured the little girl's sadness, and her use of color skillfully advances the narrative ... In every possible way, this book is breathtaking.

"This enchanting book makes me wish that our grandchildren were still pre-schoolers, but the child within me makes me get great pleasure out of it myself. I shall put it with the other coffee table books to ensure that a range of adults have the chance to enjoy it and if they are looking for gifts for children they will be tempted to buy it. The story is simple, surprising and fun, and the vivid and imaginative illustrations tempt me to turn over the pages again and again." - Nzine
