Review Quotes

"A slice-of-life tale, from dawn to dusk. Drawing inspiration from Robert Browning's 'Pippa's Song, ' the soothingly written verse and the vibrant mixed-media illustrations bring this bustling, beautiful neighborhood to life and demonstrate that even in an urban setting, there are ways to appreciate nature. A charmer that captures the exuberance of finding happiness in the little things." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Snug -details abound; the world is safe; the mood is optimistic, deliberately so... A reassuring lark, meant to soothe, and all's right with this book." -- School Library Journal
