Reviews

“The protagonist’s transformation is warm, uplifting, organic, leading to an almost magical ending that emphasizes gratitude and growth. Stringer’s illustrations feature bright, welcoming colors that naturally highlight sweet moments, like Mole’s adorable kitchen concert. The tiny thing’s steadfast presence reminds readers that new experiences can feel joyful, comfortable, and liberating, especially with a patient friend who is eager to listen. A cheerful tale of growth, starring an endearing and unique pair of friends.”
- Kirkus
