Industry Reviews

"Carefully crafted minimalist words create a frisson of anticipation of what may be happening to the idealistic natural world so well portrayed."

* School Librarian *

"A skillful blend of fiction and nonfiction that makes for thought-provoking bedtime reading and early classroom discussion."

* School Library Journal *

"Inspirational."

* Books for Keeps *

"Through poet, Brian Moses' starkly powerful words and Bee Willey's equally powerful, mixed media collage and acrylic artistry through which she conjures up atmospheric scenes of land, lake, sea and air, we have an almost prayerful visual plea for a world that is environmentally friendly, where wildlife is respected and habitats unpolluted. Every one of the spreads would look beautiful framed and the whole book is a wonderful and wondrous starting point for discussions about protecting our precious planet, and on sharing the earth's resources."

* Red Reading Hub *

"This lyrical book is a child's dream of a world where nobody harms wild creatures and where water is unpolluted and the air is pure. "I dreamt I was a whale... and no hunters chased after me. I dreamt I was a seal... and no one wanted fur from me.' This inspirational picture book is a call to all of us to stand up for the future of our planet and help to save our wild world. The magical pictures take us right into the child's dream world - on the first page, his bed floats on a sea filled with beauty. Each picture is a work of art, reflecting our wonderful world and all that lives on and in it; look at all the detail and use the pictures and text as the basis for discussion."

* Parents in Touch *

"A beautifully written and illustrated picture book about a world where we all care for each other, for animals, plants and places. It will be inspirational for young children and for adults as they see just how the world is changing."
