    I bought this book because of the illustrations. I loved the story but got so much out of your observations and analysis. Thanks, Jack!

      I'm so glad you enjoyed my thoughts on this one - it is such a great book!

    I love the way this artist paints those little patches of sunlight on the ground or on the face of the little girl. The colour of the light itself is so dusky/twilighty. That against the dark of the surface is so ...stark as you put it. It's lovely.

      His use of light always intrigues me - gorgeous book!

    What a pleasure to watch this perceptive video Jack! I love this book and was pleased to see it is a finalist for a Governor General Literature Award.

      Thank you so much, Lindy! It had so much in it and I am sure there is still more for me to discover in further readings. Happy it has been nominated for an award!

    Just brought this book today and read it with my 6 year old and it was great, she really really enjoyed it and we had a lot of fun discussing the different angles!

    💀💀What a delightful book! I'm familiar with some of Klassen's previous books, but this one was new to me (which makes sense, since it was just released!) I may put this on my list for possible gifts for some younger members in my family.
