MEDIA REVIEWS
A harmonious picture book whose poetic text and delicate illustrations befit its subject. - Kirkus Reviews
Created with sweeping lines, repeated shapes, and deep, soft colors, Stacey’s graceful illustrations reflect elements of Morris’ artistic work as well as his affinity for nature. A lovely book introducing a notable Englishman whose life and work are unfamiliar to most American children. - Booklist
