★ "This artful picture book seamlessly blends science, poetry, and mindfulness, encouraging little ones to get outside, slow down, and look closely at what's around them."--Booklist, STARRED review ★ "A poignant, poetic journey to find a sense of home."--Kirkus, STARRED review ★ "Sudyka's watercolors showcase the settings and give life to the metaphors--the changing seasons; the rich jewel tones of the frog's surroundings; the treefrog clinging to a leaf, or "snug saddle"; and the quiet pleasures of sharing nature.... Altogether lovely."--Horn Book, STARRED review "Sidman displays her usual gift for careful, vividly turned free verse.... Sudyka's gouache scenes are lush and verdant, depicting the teeming richness of life in an ordinary backyard."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books --
