Publishers Weekly hails the book as a ‘gentle friendship story,’ saying, ‘Allsopp’s delicately drafted illustrations depict Luna and Bear’s relationship with tenderness and quiet humor . . . The ending, in which planted seeds result in a field of yellow flowers bursting from the snowy landscape, feels entirely in keeping with the magical nature of this friendship.’
