"'An enchanting tale'" -- Joanna Sayers EYE  "Varley's text is sensitive, comforting, gentle. This is one sensible and honest approach to death for the young." -- Elaine Moss Times Literary Supplement "I bow down to this one. It left me with a lump in the throat, and I would have no qualms at all about recommending it to any child. Tender, poignant, touching. Good book." -- Martin Waddell Irish News "The gentle message holds particular validity for children and is conveyed in a tenderhearted manner." --Booklist "Warm and sensitive." --Publishers Weekly
