Customer Reviews

Every child and elementry school teacher needs to have this book in their library.

This is the second book by illustrator, Erin Banks, that I have purchased and I continue to be amazed at her work. Ms. Banks' work has felicity and a unique form that gives depth and texture to the story. My oldest daughter, a first grade and pre-school teacher, has used Ms. Banks first book, A Patchwork Path, and this newest book to teach her students important lessons about family and working together. I can't wait till Ms. Banks next work is published. Quinn
