An offbeat and winning mix of earthiness and enchantment."—Kirkus Reviews"This is a strange, magical book. Base’s lush paintings ground the fanciful story in its realistic rural setting. At the same time, the landscapes are suffused with a golden glow that casts a soporific charm over the whole book.

A great book to enjoy one-on-one."—School Library Journal"Graeme Base has done it again. His beautifully detailed paintings are such an important part of this story."—Library Media Connection
