- A Canadian Children's Book Centre Best Book for Kids and Teens, 2015 Arnaldo's tale of unwelcome feelings and the importance of friendship is nicely paced and gracefully written, and her expressive, mixed-media paintings neatly evoke Arto's journey. Quietly effective. <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> A great metaphor for opening up to change and new friendship ... This story will resonate with many children, especially those who have experienced a move. <i>School Library Journal</i> The fairly lengthy text gives the serious topic its due, while the pencil, watercolor, acrylic, and graphite illustrations convey the beauty of both North and South locales. The emphasis on Arto's clothing is a wonderfully subtle and clever way of depicting his emotional defenses and, as he loses his layers, how he is coming to adjust. <i>Booklist</i> Bright, cheerful illustrations aptly portray the charms of both northern and southern locations. Facial expressions effectively emphasize Arto's feelings. This would be equally effective in one-on-one or group situations, and could help ease transitions for transient students. <i>Library Media Connection</i>
