Review Quotes: ***STARRED REVIEW***
"Expertly capturing a child's perspective, Judge's matter-of-fact text is tinged with deep emotion--this is both a paean to a temporary home and a wish for more. Her sumptuous illustrations glow with warmth, inviting readers to linger...A compelling, immersive, and wholly empathetic musing on home."
