“A gorgeous, extraordinarily moving book. One, indeed for all ages. The art (by the distinguished Iranian artist Feeroozeh Golmohammad) is glowing, connecting with the Goodall’s passionate phrases to be indeed a call for world peace.” – Monica Edinger, Educating Alice blog

Adults interested in introducing a broad, nature- and compassion-based form of spirituality to children will be pleased with Goodall’s approach, which emphasizes kindness and interconnectedness. That theme is borne out in the illustrations, which occasionally feature hints of human figures in abstract scenes of nature and make very effective use of color to evoke sympathetic feeling. – Booklist

“A candid and direct picture of war, poverty, and inequity, but equally emphatic about the power of hope and faith.” – Publishers Weekly

“Goodall does not mince words, nor does she edit for length. Striking mixed-media paintings….[an] earnest and heartfelt effort.” – School Library Journal
