Reviews

""In this picture book about a bright-eyed child eager to connect with local woodland creatures, Harper (I Cannot Draw a Horse) and Climo (First Day Critter Jitters) suggest that good intentions without genuine consideration can miss the mark entirely....Unembellished clear-line digital cartooning earnestly underscores the core message: connection means thinking about what others need.""--Publishers Weekly
