Reviews
"Fully immersive and thought-provoking, Locke's sage picture book will appeal to visionary younger readers who can grasp the teaching that humans must rediscover their link to the natural world, to "be a good relative, not just to the two-leggeds, but to all of creation" - a timely message." - Publishers Weekly
"...full of vivid color and imagery. A stirring tale of creation that will capture readers' attention. A good purchase for picture book collections." - School Library Journal Reviews (March 2024)
