—Publishers Weekly
The inner life of an inanimate childhood playmate is always cause for interest, and this bouncy narrative touches on themes of friends, family, and home—and being careful what you wish for—all set within a reassuring framework. . . . Flying orcas ahead! A tale rich in love, loss, and windborne pool floaties.
—Kirkus Reviews
Themes of belonging and contentment emerge naturally through tender, understated storytelling. The illustrations, created digitally using hand-painted textures, have a soft, hand-drawn appearance. Expressive artwork conveys movement beautifully, with splashing water and swirling wind reinforcing both the excitement of flight and the calm of return.
