A manual for constructing a contented life, this book makes children look deeper and behave with deliberation. And when they do, Henkes says, they are lucky.
A first purchase for every library, this book invites readers to consider the world around them in a new way.
As in Sun, Flower, Lion, Henkes continues to whittle away all but the essentials in his life lessons for preschoolers, and the result is accessible and resonant.
Reminiscent of Pennypacker’s “Clementine” series, or Beverly Cleary’s “Ramona” books, Billy Miller and the laugh-out-loud antics of his little sister Sal make this a darling addition to early middle grade collections for most libraries.
With a return to a distinct and limited color palette like that of Henkes’s award-winning Kitten’s First Full Moon, this is a must have for all collections, appropriate for both sharing out loud and for beginning readers.
