Absolutely heart-wrenchingly stunning. Every pages is an absolute delight. I only wish that the words had been hand-written - the fact that this is even noticable is only because of how perfect every other little detail is.

The story is as old as industrialisation but I'm sure it has never been told so succinctly and beautifully as here.

A very beautiful book that is reminiscent of The Little House, that caldecott winner from so many years ago.
The little varmint in this book has saved a little plant, a little bit of green in a very gray and brown world. A simple reminder that we should keep some of earth's natural beauty in tact.
