Reviews
A picture-book update that does Zolotow's legacy proud. Stead has carved out a spot in contemporary picture books after years of study of the form. He says as much in his dedication to the late author and editor Zolotow, noting that he began collecting picture books, including hers, as a teenager. His stunning artistic interpretation of this text (first published in 1960) is a triumph in how it matches the writing's quiet tone without sacrificing visual interest. . . . A picture book to love best in all seasons. --Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

A picture book to love best in all seasons. --Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review In loose, pale washes and warm, organic lines, Stead renders a garden that isn't particularly elegant or manicured--there's a stone wall, a tree with a swing, an abandoned car and tire planters, a pond to skate on. Small creatures come and go. It's an intergenerational look at companionable contentment derived from the simplest things, anchored in the natural world. --Publishers Weekly
