Reviews

School Library Journal

“A sweet and tender reminder to treasure the power of imagination.”—School Library Journal

Kirkus Reviews

“Illustrations that look to be made from pen and ink with watercolors evoke summery seashore scenes and frosty winter evenings as the child’s playtime reveries become, for her, real.”—Kirkus Reviews
