Review Quotes:

"...this is soothing, visually attractive, and makes for a comforting bedtime read-aloud." --Booklist

"Tillman adds another dreamy volume to her collection of self-esteem-building titles." --School Library Journal

"Parents and grandparents will love to read this aloud to their little ones..." --Kirkus Reviews

"There's something magical about the idea of intimacy with wild animals; spreads in which Tillman imagines such interactions, like the cover image of the child asleep astride a zebra, have special power, especially as they're rendered with photograph-like verisimilitude." --Publishers Weekly

"Nancy Tillman returns to the theme that she celebrated in her poetic essay book On the Night You Were Born--every child is special and beloved....While the re-iterated affirmations on each page may seem a bit much for the less sentimental types, there is no question that Tillman's message is one that young children need to hear." --Children's Literature
