Critics Review
“Salmieri and Haas’ matte collage illustrations, made from paper colored with acrylics and plant-based inks, have a lovely touch of Lionni-esque color and boldness about them. Vibrant outdoor urban scenes pulse with activity and enough changes in perspective to keep things interesting.
A reassuring meditation about noticing and appreciating your place in the world.” —Kirkus
★”It’s an absorbing look at how a child interprets their surroundings, which become more personal as the protagonist eats dinner and heads to bed.”—Publishers Weekly
