Praise
“In this contemporary retelling of folktales from around the world, Casey reminds readers of the wonder of creatures in the natural world and of what they have to teach us through their own ways of living…The artwork is crisp and contemporary, often forming borders or repeated motifs that reference classical styles of book illustrations. These folktales have a lyrical quality that makes them well suited to being read aloud, and they are bite-sized enough to have readers clamoring for another and another.”
