Autumn 2010 Kids' Next List

“This warm and wise depiction of a young boy waiting for the arrival of a new baby is pitch-perfect. As the months pass, he's curious, anxious, resentful, but above all reassured by his patient, loving mother. The marvelous wordless double-page spreads showing the antics of his imagined sibling contrast vividly with the calm chronicling of mother and son going about their daily business as the seasons change and the birth of the baby draws near. Utterly captivating!”
