A Bank Street College Best Children's Book 2024
"An excellent, effective introduction to why saving the Earth is
important."--School Library Journal
"Naturalistic cartoon depictions of Earth's beginnings form the
backdrop to Sudyka's urgent call for conservation in this
captivating story about planetary renewal and
reciprocity."--Publishers Weekly
"[Sudyka's] approach is particularly compelling because it shares
no unnecessary details and distills our planet's ecological arc
down to its emotional essence. The text is unadorned, so the
gouache art does the heavy lifting to illustrate the
interconnectedness of life on Earth with scenes of vibrant flora,
fauna, and geological features moving in tandem. Innovative layouts
create striking transitions."--Bulletin of the Center for
Children's Books
* "[An] impassioned picture-book call to action for environmental
stewardship.... Sudyka's lush spreads burst with a symphony of
colors."--The Horn Book
* "Quietly astounding...Sudyka works wonders in her watercolor
gouache artwork, characterized by swirling stars and clouds that
pass over folk-style scenes... A loving entreaty to embrace the
environment through positive action."--Booklist
"Enthralling artwork.... Enlightening and encouraging."--Kirkus
