This story contains bold graphic illustrations and a wonderful message about the environment, proclaims Brightly in their article 18 Must-Read Picture Books of 2018.

The Digger and the Flower Reviews

Kuefler imbues the text with the heart and soul of the best storytime fare... One couldn't hope for a better tale of rebirth and regeneration - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Kuefler's simply written and beautifully illustrated tale has a powerful message about the importance of the environment...A wonderful, inspiring tale, perfect for read-alouds. - School Library Journal (starred review) The image of the clunky piece of construction equipment tenderly caring for the fragile plant gives the story charm, and so do its strong, simple images. - Publishers Weekly Praise for RULERS OF THE PLAYGROUND: Children struggling with tyrants (or the impulse to dictate) will find both laughter and comfort in Kuefler's playground, full of recognizable experiences, faces, and feelings....winning satire for the jungle-gym set. - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Praise for RULERS OF THE PLAYGROUND: [A] playful lesson in camaraderie and social etiquette - Booklist Praise for BEYOND THE POND: A witty, auspicious debut...[with] echoes of Jon Klassen and Wes Anderson. - Publishers Weekly (starred review) Praise for BEYOND THE POND: [A] tale of transformation and wonder...reminiscent of Sendak's Max and his Wild Things. - School Library Journal Praise for BEYOND THE POND: This lovely picture book is a tribute to imagination and the wonder in everyday spaces...will resonate with young readers. - Booklist
