Praise
"Henkes's surefooted art guides readers through time...Lyrically a describing the young-at-heart, Henkes plays an artist's game of hot and cold watercolor hues."
7/7/08
"As he did in KITTEN'S FIRST FULL MOON, Henkes has created a thoroughly delightful character filled with curiosity and sweetness and placed him in a simple tale that unfolds with a natural, rhythmical pace."
9/1/2008
"Celebrating the yearly surprise of changing seasons, Henkes keep his text and art classically and timelessly simple."
11/1/08
"Boy or bear, young or old, seeking or dreaming, Henkes's characters are memorable for their robust joyfulness, authenticity and hard-won wisdom."
