Reviews

[Trisha · Rating 5 out of 5]

Simple and yet complex.

[Vivian · Rating 2 out of 5]

Meh. An intellectually artistic, or an artistically intellectual presentation of prepositions or perhaps a satire on city planning or simply a celebration of trees.

[Erin Buhr · Rating 4 out of 5]

The soft watercolor illustrations that brim with color and beauty are my favorite part about this book. This is a sparsely worded tale using primarily carefully chosen positional words and stunning paintings to carry it's readers through the forest and up to the tops of the trees. It is a gentle, yet absorbing read.
