Review "The many allusive details in the illustrations will make adults smile and keep child readers coming back for more....Engaging and true to the message." -- Kirkus Reviews * October 2020 *"The illustrations are bright and filled with details....A lovely choice for starting conversations with small groups or one-on-one. Many songs have been turned into picture books, but this one is particularly deft at capturing hope and possibility, which defined the original work. Its a sweet accompaniment to Earth Day sing-alongs." -- School Library Journal * December 2020 *"The lyrics...offer inspiration for some really magical illustrations. The fanciful detail-rich pictures, on full-bleed single pages, double-page spreads, and panels, celebrate the songs message to care for our planet." -- The Horn Book Book Bundles * May 6, 2021 * Review Quote "The many allusive details in the illustrations will make adults smile and keep child readers coming back for more....Engaging and true to the message."
