“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
