Description: "When James cycles he calls out to his animal friends, and when a storm hits, he goes to ensure they're safe but can't find them and an anxious return home rewards him with the fruits of his kindness"--

Review Quotes: By turns fearsome, surprising, and comforting--an ideal adventure for little ones.
--Kirkus Reviews

The wonderfully welcoming world is packed with coziness and kindness, though the squall provides just enough tension to keep things compelling. Softly textured mixed-media illustrations carefully capture both the sunnier side of the island existence along with the dark storm scenes, and lanterns and windows truly seem to glow from within. A gentle gem of an island adventure that readers will long to live in.
--Booklist

All ends well in this compelling island adventure in which everyone truly cares about their neighbors. The illustrations create dramatic moments and endearing characters through deliberate use of shape, color, and line and are full of special details to notice.
