Reviews
Booklist
“A heartening story about exploration, bravery, and making new friends.”—Booklist
School Library Journal
“Ungureanu’s debut picture book shows the beauty of island living through the eyes of a child. . . . A charming addition for one-on-one and small group sharing that offers plenty to talk, think, and write about.”—School Library Journal
Publishers Weekly
“[A] magic-tinged . . . haunting, slightly surreal story that speaks to the rewards of both independence and companionship.”—Publishers Weekly
Kirkus Reviews
“Nara’s homely face is reminiscent of Maurice Sendak’s work, adding to the book’s overall nostalgic and somewhat otherworldly feel. . . . Superficially sweet, with sophisticated undercurrents. . . .”—Kirkus Reviews
