Reviews

"Amelie Jackowski s illustrations are wonderful as Badger begins the day hoping for the best...Badger and the other animals are endearingly drawn in soft muted tones."- Youth Services Book Review, Katrina Yurenka"
"Illustrations are bright and cheery with rich, jewel-toned hues, such as turquoise, coral, and ruby red, livening up the rustic, woodland setting. This sweet Swiss import gives a fresh take on altruism and friendship."- Booklist, April Mazza
