"Carefully crafted minimalist words create a frisson of
anticipation of what may be happening to the idealistic natural
world so well portrayed."
*School Librarian*
"A skillful blend of fiction and nonfiction that makes for
thought-provoking bedtime reading and early classroom
discussion."
*School Library Journal*
"Inspirational."
*Books for Keeps*
"Through poet, Brian Moses' starkly powerful words and Bee Willey's
equally powerful, mixed media collage and acrylic artistry through
which she conjures up atmospheric scenes of land, lake, sea and
air, we have an almost prayerful visual plea for a world that is
environmentally friendly, where wildlife is respected and habitats
unpolluted. Every one of the spreads would look beautiful framed
and the whole book is a wonderful and wondrous starting point for
discussions about protecting our precious planet, and on sharing
the earth's resources."
*Red Reading Hub*
"This lyrical book is a child's dream of a world where nobody harms
wild creatures and where water is unpolluted and the air is pure.
"I dreamt I was a whale... and no hunters chased after me. I dreamt
I was a seal... and no one wanted fur from me.' This inspirational
picture book is a call to all of us to stand up for the future of
our planet and help to save our wild world. The magical pictures
take us right into the child's dream world - on the first page, his
bed floats on a sea filled with beauty. Each picture is a work of
art, reflecting our wonderful world and all that lives on and in
it; look at all the detail and use the pictures and text as the
basis for discussion."
*Parents in Touch*
"A beautifully written and illustrated picture book about a
world where we all care for each other, for animals, plants and
places. It will be inspirational for young children and for adults
as they see just how the world is changing."
