Reviews

Booklist

“Bosch’s colorful art, clearly depicting the action, characters, and emotional changes as the plot progresses, makes it easy to follow each story individually or all together. Useful as both a storytelling and writing exercise.”―Booklist

Kirkus Reviews

“Like peering into an aquarium, Nordling and Bosch’s tale is quiet, but it’s swimmingly bright with the vibrantly vivid spectrum of underwater life….A peaceful meditation that should delight readers with its multiplicity of composition.” —Kirkus Reviews

School Library Journal

“Thanks to its wordless design, expressive characters, colorful look, and small jumps in time between panels, this tale will appeal to a broad range of children.”—School Library Journal
