One of CCBC’s Best Books for Kids and Teens, Fall 2021
“Sweet and pretty for bedtime or naptime — and validating to little
ones all the time.” —STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews
“Cut paper adds definition; salt stippling creates the impression
of apple blossoms; the whole becomes a world set apart from the
ordinary. The protagonist, too, is out of the ordinary: returning
home, she keeps her encounter with the fawn secret, her rich inner
life bringing its own rewards.” —The Horn Book Magazine
“In this quietly resplendent picture book, a younger sibling who
has missed out on seeing a deer sets off alone in search of one.”
