“Elegant, digitally colored ink illustrations from Zuill (Donut) provide plenty of quirky details while remaining deeply sympathetic to the story’s offbeat protagonist, which makes his newfound, internally identified confidence endearing and inspiring.” —Publishers Weekly“A delightful, sharply observed tale about friendship and taking those first tentative steps toward independence.” —Kirkus Reviews“Read this picture book to kids not ready to take on The Hobbit just yet.” —The Bulletin “Zuill’s gentle adventure highlights how monumental stepping outside of one’s comfort zone is and how doing so can come with unforeseen rewards.” —Booklist |
