Praise For…
"[A] truly attractive mélange that evinces early spring days, green fields, and blue skies swept with clouds. After reading this book, who wouldn't want to try their own hand at a little independence?"—Kirkus "Ezra Jack Keats Award winner Goodale succeeds in offering a contemplative and relatable work that affirms and reflects the complex emotional lives of young children."—School Library Journal "Kate’s voice succinctly captures the whirling emotions of childhood’s lonely moments, deftly balancing sulky isolation with the need for attention and companionship." - Publishers Weekly —
