"The fog leaves me agog." - Lemony Snicket "The story unfolds entirely through the characters' tidy dialogue and musings, which appear in speech and thought balloons. the action moves forward in rectangular comics-style panels, and the bright teals and oranges of his palette help make the friends' seaside home feel inviting and picturesque." - Publishers Weekly "The simple story with clear, bright art demonstrates that friends do not always need to agree and bobs along as buoyantly as sun across the water.A blithe and breezy charmer." - Kirkus "The vibrant, graphic illustrations in comics-style panels and text aimed skillfully at newly emergent readers combine to tell a heartwarming story of how unexpected courage, kindness, and compromise can strengthen friendships. New readers will look forward to more adventures from Petal and Poppy." -Booklist.
