CRITICS LOVE IT: This award-winning book has received praise from numerous esteemed publications. Highlights include:

"\[A\] stunning tour de force."--_The New York Times_

"The pictures have a rich visual texture, vibrant color, and a naive style, which together imply a child as ostensible artist. This effect is well aligned with the playfully inquisitive text, with rhythm and repetition akin to books by Margaret Wise Brown and Ruth Krauss. . . . Have you ever seen a book quite like this? Not likely."--_The Horn Book Magazine_

  

Perfect for:

-   Parents and caregivers seeking a read-aloud with thought-provoking questions
-   Nature lovers
