Praise for this book
Enormously satisfying [and] wholly original...this Lithuanian import portrays the friendship developing between a boy and a fox (...reminiscent of The Little Prince). There is much to savor: the honesty of unspoken ruminations, challenging dialogue, and myriad unexpected details.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
This sweet story of friendship will forever keep children hoping to find adventure.-- "Midwest Book Review"
Fresh and unexpected... A parade of people, vehicles, and animals through Kiudulaite's colorful digital collages contributes to the atmosphere of bouncy unpredictability.-- "Publishers Weekly"
The outstanding writing in this book reflects a deep respect for childhood and the importance of adaptability and absurdity.-- "2019 Mildred L. Batchelder Award"
