The descriptive prose has lyrical touches, while vibrantly accented, softly-shaded illustrations incorporate varying perspectives and historical details." --Booklist, starred review "A wonderful, heartwarming picture book for any library at any time of year." --School Library Journal, starred review "Wonderfully original in every way." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "Siegel's paneled illustrations make anything seem possible. . .
