Praise for Hans Wilhelm’s books has been warm and enthusiastic: “Wilhelm’s sweet message is an important one for children (as well as for adults).” Booklist
“A powerful and lasting impact on readers.” The Horn Book Magazine

The premise may be the very definition of chestnut, but the warmth and genuiness in Wilhelms storytelling will envelope readers like a favorite quilt. He never overplays the emotional content of the story, but conveys the high stakes through the dramatic initial search for Lottie-Dot, as well as through Nana Bears heartbroken expressions making Tobys determination and clear-headedness even more admirable.
