Review Quotes: A quietly powerful story of making a difference together... Muralist Yamasaki uses every bit of space in gorgeous full-bleed page spreads; though the layout is the same throughout, the perspective changes, so each view is fresh. The illustrations are saturated with blues and greens, with pops of orange for the raft and butterflies. Family, friends, nature, and stewardship combine for a beautiful day out. Pair with When You Can Swim or Bear Came Along.-- "School Library Journal (starred review)"
