Praise for this book
"Sophisticated storytelling, both through words and images, beautifully describes the significance of friendship and what it feels like to miss, keep, love and make a friend."-- "Kirkus, Starred Review"
"Newcomer Prahin's exceptionally polished digital spreads look like stills from an animated feature...A promising first outing for Prahin."-- "Publishers Weekly"
* "This quiet charmer of a picture book is an inspiration for creativity, problem solving, and making friends."-- "Booklist, Starred Review"
"Handling the loss of a friend who moves away is a common theme in picture books, but this is a fresh and offbeat version that helpfully highlights kindness and proactive problem-solving."-- "BCCB"
