What They're Saying
Critics Review
“This heartwarming tale by Kat Yeh, with charming illustrations by Chuck Groenink, proves that sometimes, what you’re searching for is right in front of you.”
–The Children’s Book Council”[A] standout among books about friendship.“–School Library Journal
“Groenink’s animals radiate sweetness … The depth and quality of the light gives the spreads a hint of the sacred–just right for this hymn to friendship.”–Publishers Weekly
“Yeh makes effective use of dialogue and repetition, investing her characters with personality with just a few lines. Groenink employs sunny, warm hues that increase in saturation as the boat fills and Hedgehog becomes surrounded by friends. A sweet, simple story with a nicely offbeat heroine.”–Kirkus Reviews
