Industry Reviews
"Beautiful" * Daily Mail *
"A clever tale of trust and friendship and a joy to share" * Irish Independent, Children's Books of the Year *
"A near-wordless story of kindness repaid.... What distinguishes this book are the many feelings that Cordell's pen-and-ink-with-watercolor illustrations capture so well - cold, fear, courage, exhaustion, relief - keeping readers hooked to the end. Deeply satisfying." * Kirkus, Starred review *
"Cordell's pen-and-ink illustrations balance detail and emotion...The setting is brought to life through changing sky colors, cold breaths, and extensive snowscapes in watercolors. The handlettered, inky text, wordless except for sound effects, supports the cinematic feel created through the use of varying perspectives and loosely demarcated panels. Suspenseful page-turns and aerial views on double-page spreads keep readers worrying about the protagonist until the very end, when the family is shown by the fireside with steamy mugs and pet dog?a cozy contrast to the fraught outdoor adventure." * Horn Book, starred review *
"A stunning near wordless picture book which will inspire the story teller in all of its readers... a quite different and hugely heart-warming drama about trust and friendship." * LoveReading4Kids, December 2019 Book of the Month *
