A candid and direct picture of war, poverty, and inequity, but equally emphatic about the power of hope and faith. Publishers Weekly

Striking mixed-media paintings . . . . earnest and heartfelt. Wendy Lukehart, School Library Journal

Adults interested in introducing a broad, nature- and compassion-based form of spirituality to children will be pleased with Goodall's approach, which emphasizes kindness and interconnectedness. That theme is borne out in the illustrations, which occasionally feature hints of human figures in abstract scenes of nature and make very effective use of color to evoke sympathetic feeling. Sarah Hunter, Booklist
