Will this change everything forever?
A gorgeous, dazzling story, told sensitively with alternating black and-white drawings and colourful, evocative paintings.
A beautiful and bighearted new story from one of our finest picture book makers. I love it! It’s such an expert piece of picture book making—the way Leo alternates text and wordless spreads, and black-and-white images and paintings, it all creates a beautiful rhythm. Very exciting stuff.’ – Mac Barnett
