Recensioner i media

“Pays homage to Virgina Lee Burton’s Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel and The Little House. This story has everything. Ideal for reading aloud . Lovely.” — School Library Journal (starred review)“Mantle’s illustrations are rich with bright nautical tones. In the vein of Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree. Sweet.” — Kirkus Reviews“The duo’s relationship easily echoes that between caregiver and child in this peppy maritime tale about the anchoring support that allows independence to grow.” — Publishers Weekly
