Critics Review
“A lonely child shines a light in the darkness… young people will come to understand and appreciate the book’s gentle metaphor.” –Kirkus
“Matheson has taken a beautiful departure from her interactive preschool picture books to spin this circular narrative about the importance of tiny gestures, the infectiousness of small kindnesses, and the beauty of community. Allepuz’s illustrations show skill in a wide range of materials (stencils, collage, ink, crayon, printmaking) and complement the story with stunningly saturated colors.” –Booklist
“Matheson uses the phrase ‘one light can make a difference’ to bring life to a narrative of neighborhood fellowship… This picture book could be used in a winter story hour at the public and school libraries, emphasizing creative thinking and the value of community.” –School Library Journal
