- "Wendy Meddour's story is written with great sensitivity. Presenting what for many immigrant families is a challenging time, she shows how with love, support, kindness and nature's healing power, the process of adjustment to a different life can begin. The richness and beauty of the natural world - real and remembered - is elegantly captured in Nabila Adani's misty illustrations and you can read the changing emotions in her portrayal of the two main characters." - Jill Bennett, Red Reading Hub
- "Wendy Meddour's tender story is beautifully realised by Nabila Adani's emotionally astute pictures with bright blasts of colour and dense meaningful tones." - Bookwagon
- "An evocative and moving story." - LoveReading4Kids
- "With its sensitive exploration of moving to a new country and the meaning of home, this evocative, illustrated story is perfectly pitched for the youngest readers." - Pam Norfolk, Lancashire Post
- "...the over-riding message is one of great love, empathy and sensitivity to the feelings of others, and a desire through that love to find something that helps." - Liz Broad, Just Imagine
