Review:

""Written and illustrated with sensitivity and flair, this large-format picture book will resonate with other children who have felt out of place in new surroundings." --Booklist

""Fanciful and reassuring, this quietly charming Australian import examines universal experiences and emotions. . . . Cozy and sweetly empathetic." --Kirkus Reviews
