"The spare text knits a tapestry of gentle, joyous scenes. ...Hall's digital artwork employs a bold palette on white and soft- to deep-blue backgrounds, accentuating the text's warmly affectionate tone. ...A haunting journey through autumn and a lovely triumph." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "The poems are pleasing to the ear, and the anthropomorphized tree is certain to engage young listeners. ...This will be an attractive and useful addition to storytime or unit on trees, autumn, or poetry." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Hall's exuberant style, with bright colors and crisp, digitally rendered shapes, is engaging, and the closing sequence leading up to the snowfall is one that all children will understand and enjoy." -- Horn Book Magazine
