The exact kind of illustrations I want in a picture book, beautifully textured. Quite a sad, slow piece and with ambiguity. Would be great for teaching about narration or searching for context clues upon reread. Overall, not as narrative focused as I personally like my children's book. But I am not a child, so your mileage may vary!
