"The prevailing mood of loss and longing is lifted by a
heartwarming reunion and the hope that spring will bring growth and
new life to Pagham." --The Horn Book
"A moving book about kindness, friendship, and hope in the context
of conflict and displacement." --Kirkus Reviews
"Home calls, and Mirado will answer, no matter the challenges
involved in getting back. His is a lovely, melancholy tale about
the magic of returning." --Michelle Anne Schingler, Foreword
Reviews
"Stunning landscapes and colors tell the tale of Mirado's journey,
with the boy often appearing as a speck in a majestic backdrop.
Young readers will feel the warmth of human company and the chill
of solitude that marks such a trek." --Lydia Mulvany, Booklist
