Reviews
""[W]ends from pleasantly pedestrian to fantastical and transcendent; this is the kind of restorative dream one hopes to have."" —STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews ""Crisp, rhythmic phrasing from Grant and luminous, emerald-hued artwork by Manbeck chart a child’s enchanted summertime dreams in this vividly rendered picture book. . . . As the story zooms back out, a portrait of the child curled up on a cloud warmly invites readers to drift off themselves."" —STARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly ""[A] lovely addition to the tradition of bedtime books that imagine a world of excitement and impossible wonders once the sun goes down."" —Booklist
