Reviews

The brilliant pencil work of the author and artist Sebastian Meschenmoser brings to sketchy, scratchy life a charming, idiosyncratic character. . . . These creatures are not slickly cute but refreshingly sympathetic. They do not ask to be admired. They look as if they need a hairbrush--and a cup of hot chocolate. --New York Times on Waiting for Winter

The illustrations are deftly drawn in colored pencils, complete with sketching lines that give the renderings depth and maturity. . . . a beautiful title to share with children on a lap or with a small group. --School Library Journal on Waiting for Winter
