Praise
“Helmore’s spare, expressive text gives the children’s close friendship the respect it deserves in this heartfelt story of love, separation, and reconnection. . . .handsome illustrations. . . A quiet, comforting picture book that will resonate with its audience.” —Booklist
“Helmore modulates emotions well. . . Expansive and warm with emotion, Jones’s illustrations lend dreamy poignancy to Helmore’s straightforward prose. A familiar childhood challenge surmounted with well-pitched emotional resonance from the creators of The Snow Lion.” —Publishers Weekly
“Parents and educators will especially appreciate how the protagonists’ feelings are depicted in a realistic and convincing manner—and the validation that sadness and anger are OK. The book’s inspiring ending makes it a good resource for children experiencing separation issues. . . . A beautiful and sensitive treatment of a common childhood experience.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Pair this story with Libby Gleeson’s Half a World Away for group sharing about ways to deal with separation and other disappointments.”—School Library Journal
