Jean Reidy

★“The coziest of quilts becomes a rocket ship in this gorgeous, mesmerizingly rhythmic read-aloud that explores a boy’s small place in a vast world … The soothing rhythms and comforting refrain are just right for very young ears, and the geographical terms will stretch young minds. A dreamy-yet-instructive ode to the universe.” 

“A boy celebrates his place in the world in Reidy’s soothing bedtime story … The collaborators are entirely in sync as they remind readers that the universe and its wonders are theirs to revel in.” 

“Simply outstanding. In a cumulative, ‘house that Jack built’ narrative, a young boy folds his blanket around himself and sails out over the Earth, into the stars and then all the way back till finally snuggling down in his own bed, ending each verse with ‘in my own little piece of the universe.’ The concept is lovely and comforting, the rhymes are PERFECT and the art colorful, child friendly and has just the right amount of details. Wonderful at bedtime or any time of the day.” 

 “Soft assonant sounds soothe the cumulative rhyme that parallels nighttime routines through its repetition and structure.”

“[C]harming bedtime book.”
