Reviews

"A refreshing story about friendship and the sensitive complexity of it at a level that even the youngest of children can appreciate. Sometimes what we all need is for those we love most to pause and just give us a hug for no reason in particular." - Wandering Bookseller "Tender and vibrant illustrations and a sweet, sweet friendship are a good start. What happens after Big hides?" -Jileen Moore, Square Books
