* "This book is a meditation on gratitude, full of intricate symbolism.... The overall mood is slow, steady, and soothing. The combination of the spiritual words and the prosaic moments alternating with grand panoramas bestows a magnitude to the minutiae of the everyday. The characters are diverse in every sense of the word, representing a myriad of families and lived experiences. While the books brevity is appropriate for a read-aloud, children will want to examine the illustrations closely....Simultaneously simple and majestic, this benediction of a book is recommended for first purchase." -- School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW * 1/1/2023 *
