Editorial Reviews
The text is gentle and sweet . . . . Familial love, nature appreciation, and a bit of natural science.
Kirkus Reviews
Lee’s story, with short but rhythmic sentences, and Dion’s illustrations are so effective, they instantly evoke the sound and smells of nature after a storm. Young readers will enjoy this story of two siblings learning about the natural world from their grandparents.
CM Reviews
This lovely book honors the relationship between children and grandparents and encourages reverence for the natural environment.
