* ""Fever dream meets modern fable in a kaleidoscopic numerological adventure....Eccentric details drive this visual stunner.... Cordell's exceptionally precise depictions of surreal imagery...pairs with plainspoken text for a quirky, off-kilter adventure that's somehow all the more enticing for its oddness. With strong nods to classics like Gulliver's Travels and The Borrowers, this strange quest will captivate young readers. Utterly entrancing.""--Kirkus, starred review * A tender and imaginative story that beautifully blends whimsy with warmth.... The artwork feels both intimate and alive, perfectly matching the story's emotional tone....This tale offers a wealth of discussions about empathy, family, and the ways we protect one another. This book is a wonderful choice for read-alouds, social-emotional learning, and art integration lessons.--School Library Journal, starred review
