"Oliphant's soft drawings, which look to be a mix of watercolor and
colored pencil, capture the flow of sand and water well. . . While
the youngster was pleasingly more self-reliant and self-assured in
previous offerings, his play and his interactions with the natural
world continue to ring true."—Kirkus Reviews
"The gentle scenes are depicted in watercolor and pencil, with one
or two words per page. . . This simple story will resonate with
parents and children."—School Library Journal
