Reviews* "This book is a meditation on gratitude, full of intricate symbolism.... The overall mood is slow, steady, and soothing. The combination of the spiritual words and the prosaic moments alternating with grand panoramas bestows a magnitude to the minutiae of the everyday. The characters are diverse in every sense of the word, representing a myriad of families and lived experiences. While the book's brevity is appropriate for a read-aloud, children will want to examine the illustrations closely.... Simultaneously simple and majestic, this benediction of a book is recommended for first purchase." -- School Libary Journal, STARRED REVIEW * 1/1/2023 * * "This brief, stirring benediction... starts with new life. A rich trove of moving images lets Frazee range over an expansive constellation of human experiences, offering fodder to explore and discuss." -- Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW * 12/19/2022 * * "Providing opportunities for observation, conversation, and reflection... This lyrical blessing of a picture book belongs on every shelf." -- Kirkus Reviews, STARRED * 11/15/2022 *
