Description

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"For a topic often spoken of in euphemism, the author has displayed warmth, wit and dignity without being sappy. The spongeable cover and dreamy watercolors complement this uplifting tale." -- The Los Angeles Times
"The illustrations splashy, slightly hazy watercolors in rosy pastels contrast the boy's fidgety energy with his friends' slow, careful movements and capture the story's warmth and sentiment." -- School Library Journal
"A wonderful tale that celebrates both the exuberance of childhood and the dignity of old age." -- Boston Sunday Globe
