Like Sheila Moore’s classic Samson Svenson’s Baby, this story proves there is a lid for every pot, and even young children will warm to the story of love thawing two chilly people.
An extraordinary work for every shelf; subtle and poetically less direct than other works in its treatment of death, this book stands out for the depth of its wise messages, and its gentle, evocative art.
Even though it downplays the one moment of drama, this low-key book will find some readers who need the message that the right friend will accept you as you are.
