This is one of those book that show kids how even though we may feel lonely sometimes that there is always someone there who wants to help. I think that the story beautiful demonstrated the cycle of life and how living and nonliving things have a purpose on the earth. I can not wait to use this in a story time at my library.

What a beautiful book on teaching empathy to youngsters. The illustrations are whimsical and draw you. This story manages to reach a very big and powerful lesson in a very deceptively simplistic way. This is a book that would make a beautiful gift and could be a useful tool for teachers and children’s therapists.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!

Thank you to Netgalley, Tundra Books Danielle Daniel, for providing me a copy of this ebook ARC in exchange for my honest review.
This book is better for school than at home. If used in conjunction of a lesson about earth science or even how life is dependent on each other it would do really well. I read it with my daughter and the repetition of words made her gain confidence as we went along. I highly recommend for Elementary schools

There is a lot to like about this simple picture book. The text is precise and spare and would be particularly appealing to a beginning reader. The illustrations are approachable, and again, this makes it a good choice for a reader who is learning or by one who might feel intimidated by books in English. I also like the reassuring message that all of us are afraid sometimes and all of us feel alone, but there are people and moments and nature to share those moments with. I think this book would be best used in a classroom rather than as a read aloud or bedtime book at home. Why? There wasn't really a story arc and to me the pages seemed to go on longer than necessary and sort of petered out, rather than come to a culmination. Thanks Tundra, Netgalley for the ARC.
