Reviews from Around the World
The text gave me the feel of a loving adult sitting beside a child, musing on life and how to live it. Conversational, confiding and reassuring in tone - like a grandparent reflecting on the experience of a long lifetime - in language perfectly suited to a young child. Exquisitely written and so moving.

Then there are Brendan Wenzel's astonishingly beautiful illustrations that take the simple words and expand them with sheer visual power. There is humor here too in the images as well as tremendous depth. How do you start a conversation with a young child about life? Read this book with them. - Lynn, Goodreads
