Midwest Connections Pick“This book could not be cuter or more clever. Annie Silvestro . . . is a lyrical writer who knows exactly what kind of creative detail will spark a reader’s imagination — a little mouse makes ice skates out of pine needles! Teagan White’s illustrations are warm and comforting, and push the cuteness factor into overdrive. A winner of a winter’s tale.” --USA Today
“DiCamillo’s story, told with a single word, is one even youngest readers can understand. Everyone wants to be seen, and everyone wants some-one to sing back to them.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
