A winning tale about finding new friends. * Kirkus Reviews *
Charm and warmth suffuse every page of this book, and the message that it’s important to do the right thing even when it’s hard is one that everyone needs to hear. * Library Media Connection *
The story is as simple as can be, but the emotions behind it are complex, and Yoon’s bright, thick-lined digital illustrations reflect that—they’re both cute as heck and heartbreaking, and alternate between amusing panoramas and emotional close-ups. Knuffle Bunny fans, hark! * Booklist *
