Now all this story needs is an audience, and it's sure to drum one up." * Kirkus Reviews *I would challenge anyone not to be charmed by the artwork in this book. Ms. McGowan's debut shows an infectious love for her craft and for picture books. From Bear's potbelly to the band's instruments, there is a gentle simplicity to this story that should be savored. * Erin Stead, Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator *“Beautifully designed, richly colored cut-paper illustrations effectively show the movement implicit in Bear’s musical search while allowing each character’s unique personality to shine through. Sweeping landscapes alternate with scenes in rustic frames that give the effect of placing the characters on a stage. There is much to relish in this story of camaraderie.” * Booklist *“McGowan's intricate papercut art and playful cast of characters are guaranteed to put a smile on your face and leave you howling with delight.” * Huffington Post *“It’s an entertaining story of acceptance and community with wonderful, juicy words like ‘footslogged,’ but the art is what really stands out.” – Julie Danielson of Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast * Julie Danielson *The book is beautifully written, and playfully illustrated by McGowan’s intricate three-dimensional cut paper illustrations. A note discusses how she designed, cut, assembled, and layered each piece of artwork, staging miniature scenes in a paper theater, which she then photographed for her book. * School Library Connection *
