"Perfect for story hours or one-on-one sharing."

"Underwood’s ultra-succinct verse hits all the emotional marks that go along with a big transition…Bean, meanwhile, seems to take the topic to heart by moving in a new direction himself. He does wonderful things with light, starting with a gloomy rain scene and ending with soft, welcoming twilight."

"This is a lovely portrayal of a child experiencing change as well as a graceful example of spare storytelling."
