'A simply stunning picture book inspired by the lyrics of the traditional Scottish folksong is especially recommended for children ages 5 to 8 and is unreservedly recommended for family, elementary school and community library picture book collections for young readers.' -- Midwest Book Review, March 2017 'The images are sweeping and yet personal, and the loyalty of the prince's followers is evident in their actions and demeanor. ' -- Goodreads 'Faithfully and skillfully illustrated.' -- Youth Services Book Review 'There is no visible blood or explicit violence in Belli's depictions of the battle and its aftermath, but in the clean-lined watercolor scenes he fashions evocatively rough seas and stormy skies until landfall brings a final calm. The British soldiers' red coats and the bright tartans in which the handsome, downcast prince and other male Scots in the all-white cast are outfitted shine against the muted backgrounds. A rendition more poignant than patriotic with, at least in the rhymed portions, the cadence of a lullaby.' -- Kirkus 'Alfredo Belli [...] has captured the dangers of the sea-journey to Skye and the loyaty, comfort and hope that were given to the young prince by the spirited Flora.' -- School Library Association
