A 2021 New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Children's Book A 2022 USBBY OUTSTANDING INTERNATIONAL BOOK ""[On the Other Side of the Forest] feels like a vintage gem."" --New York Times ""Storytelling by Robert and restrained, classically drafted spreads by DuBois offer... suspense and drama along the way. An epigraph from artist Ai Weiwei underscores the value of smart collective action--a potentially dry theory that Robert and DuBois bring to life with absorbing storytelling."" --Publishers Weekly STARRED Review ""[The] family structure, the cooperative community, and the quality of the precisely inked and colored art combine for a riveting read."" --Kirkus Reviews STARRED Review ""The charming text and dreamy artwork... convey the quality of an old-fashioned folktale, while the intricate details recall the extraordinary structures built by the characters in Arthur Geisert's pig books."" --Booklist ""A heartwarming tale of a rabbit father and son and their decision to venture into the scary forest behind their house."" --Quill & Quire ""Are there really wolves and ogres and giant badgers in the forest? No one knows because no one ever goes into those dark and scary woods. You'll have to read this fanciful picture book if you want to know ... and pay special attention to Dubois's illustrations because they're an enormous part of the fun."" --Globe and Mail ""A must-have picture book! This endearing tale offers the opportunity to discuss what it means to help others and never give up. Recommended."" --School Library Connections
