Critics Review
Lyrical… [Mason] uses color to masterful effect to reflect the weather, changing seasons, and mood, the spreads sometimes in washed-out grays, other times tinged yellow by the setting sun or the bright blues and white of a sunny day after a snowstorm.

Banks’ prose is filled with figurative language… In full-bleed spreads, illustrator Suzie Mason brings winter to the page. Her color palette grows dark as the season sets in… . The Winter Bird is an earnest anthropomorphized tale. Its creatures support and encourage one another, forming a kind and tightknit community that transforms the nightingale.
