"The language is dry and the illustrations are light and characterful" Julia Marshall, Publisher

About the Author

Delphine Perret is author–illustrator of more than a dozen children’s books, translated into several languages. She lives in Lyon, France, where she also co-founded an art gallery.

Reviews

"French author Perret’s tale is serene, moving along languidly like the calming flow of a brook through the woods. Bits of text reside alongside simply wrought thin, black-line illustrations on cool mint-green pages in this graphic-novel hybrid. While the story itself makes for a pleasant read-aloud, the small-scale, unassuming art may better serve independent readers than groups. Children drawn to quieter animal fare imbued with warm humor and accompanied by a gentle nudge toward nature should find kinship here. A meditative tale with a homespun feel, best for thoughtful readers."
*Kirkus Reviews*

"The simple stories are gentle and occasionally funny, with the expected silliness of animals trying to live in a world where human stuff keeps intruding, such as when bear wins a sofa. Spare line drawings on mint green paper lend the book an air of whimsy."
*Stephanie Tournas, Youth Services Book Reviews*
