*”Conversations about motivations and actions will abound as children absorb the impact of grace.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“In Barbara DaCosta’s story, friendship and forgiveness emerge from the shadows to shine as warmly as Ed Young’s art. I found myself deeply touched by this tender, honest story, and mesmerized by the jaggedly beautiful, moody illustrations. This book is a gift for anyone, child or adult, who has ever needed a true friend in a rough world.” —Elisa Kleven, author of The Lion and the Little Red Bird
