Review Quotes
"After it is stomped by one of its kid creators, the indignities keep piling up for this picture book's googly-eyed sandcastle protagonist... Alongside a familiar message of solidarity and resilience, visual storytelling from Carzoo (Greenlight)--single-plane images rendered in subtly dimensional cut-paper collage--has lots of good-hearted, goofy verve." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Buckets of sandy uplift" -- Kirkus Reviews
