Praise for Adventures With Barefoot Critters

PRAISE FOR Adventures With Barefoot Critters:
- Selected, Amazon.com's Best Picture Books of June
- Selected, one of Powell's Best Books of 2014

"Ample use of white space sets off the charming watercolour-and-gouache illustrations in muted colors. The many details on each page render a delightful glimpse into the animals' cozy lives. Children will have fun discovering each creature's personality... Every decorated initial alphabet letter is surrounded by a different floral motif to replicate a medieval Book of Hours for little ones."
--Booklist

"...enchanting illustrations. [The] 'critters' represent various eras and classes of fauna. Furry mammals, birds, and at least one heart-stealing triceratops caper through the seasons...Through the medium of watercolour, White creates images that are delicate and detailed, inviting the preschool child to linger and to imagine. All in all, this is a beautiful and calming bedtime story -- best read in good light."
--Deakin Review of Children's Literature

"... captured my heart the moment I laid eyes on [it]... The critters are just as cute as can be. The illustrations rich and detailed. Each page reminds me of a print that you would buy... and hang on your wall. There is something a little bit old fashioned about the book that transports me back to childhood, but at the same time it's extremely modern. This book makes me want to learn how to draw... and spend more time in my garden... and explore the seashore more often... and enjoy all of the little things in life!"
