“This gentle tale…is a quiet, contemplative take on the usual holiday fare. Diminutive, saucer-eyed Merry is endearing and takes center stage throughout. A merry, pleasant, and uplifting seasonal offering.” —Kirkus
“ The language is poetically descriptive, engaging all senses in depictions of forest and city…This book will broaden the scope of emotions in your Christmas collection and remind little folks they can do big things.” —School Library Journal
