"Sleeping under the stars, nursing a fledgling crow to health —small, momentous childhood adventures, enumerated in poetic text and tender watercolors."

Publishers Weekly

"Without sounding preachy and with the age range of her audience firmly in mind, the author urges readers to seize the small and big opportunities that life offers. … With subtle crosshatching and muted colors, Hunter brings an intriguing tension to every picture-and conveys the message that, for those willing to look a little harder and risk a little more, life-changing surprises and revelations await."

School Library Journal

"Beginning and ending with a child sleeping under a star-filled sky, protected by a canopy of trees, this beautifully patterned and paced text takes readers on a trip into the imaginative dreams of children. … Hunter's watercolor-and-ink illustrations create a cozy, inviting place in which anything is possible, yet all seems grounded in the world around us. The lilting rhyming text perfectly combines things possible and improbable."
