What’s not to love about this endearing and effervescent picture book?

Kirkus Reviews

Beautifully told and illustrated, this book is a gem on many levels. The relationship with wise Nana illustrates the importance of intergenerational stories; Britta’s determination shows how strong girls can be, and it shows that we all have an impact on the natural world.

School Library Journal

The thoughtful, humorous story, with its charming use of repetition and its amiable cast of quirky characters, is brought to life by mixed-media illustrations full of energy and verve. In a warm palette of brown, rose, pink, and blue and vibrant, scribbly crayon lines, the artist has vivacious brown-skinned Britta and her pets jump off the page. This international collaboration between US author Laura Gehl and Spanish illustrator Patricia Metola celebrates a tale of determination, kindness, and friendship – with a true element at its core: Trees really do communicate with each other!
