"An inquisitive child’s arboreal musings drive this whimsical picture book . . . Yuly’s dainty mixed-media illustrations touch on seasonal change . . . The unanswered questions encourage visual literacy in this simple story whose center is the connection between a curious child and nature."
– Publishers Weekly
"[An] entirely charming picture book, made even more so by the subtle, captivating art. . . This would make a nice opener to a walk in the woods or to spark a discussion about the liveliness of the natural world."
