"What starts as a slapstick lark deepens, in the hands of collaborators Farina and Salati ( Lawrence in the Fall ), into a wise meditation on new skills and old friends. It's a gentle landing that lets this deftly turned book glide into something very much like grace." -- STARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly "Farina and Salati's story has a timeless, universal quality. A book that guarantees hours of pure comfort and joy, in all manner of weather." -- STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews "Farina and Salati offer an engaging picture book that sets up simple story elements in a clear way from beginning to end. The clever wordplay leads to a delightful ending that will amuse adult readers and can be used as an example of a pourquoi tale for children[.]" -- STARRED REVIEW, School Library Journal "Matthew Farina's text tells just enough of the story, allowing readers to expand on the essentials. Doug Salati's pencil, gouache and digital illustrations are a marvel of color and form.

This is the continuation of a beautiful friendship." -- Imaginary Elevators.
