Little Passenger

The text is wonderfully written and offers a feeling of beauty, love, and anticipation. . . . the artwork is outstanding.
—School Library Journal

Visually inventive. . . . reassuring verse builds with welcoming anticipation . . . while illustrations reveal the purpose of the adult’s handiwork: a cozy quilt to be shared by caregiver and new arrival. It’s a warmth-filled portrait that binds the loving act of making a quilt to one experience of growing a family.
—Publishers Weekly

In her debut picture book, Sullivan, acclaimed for her YA fiction, brings a gentle, lyrical voice to this contemplation of motherhood, sensitively illuminated with loose watercolor washes and a soft pastel palette by celebrated illustrator Love (Julián Is a Mermaid). . . . A lovely and reassuring read-aloud for a child anticipating a new sibling, this intimate portrait of a mother’s bond with her unborn child will also resonate with expectant parents.
—Booklist

Exquisitely vibrant, a celebration of the beauty of creation in plant, craft, and human form.
