"A separation grows into expanded love... New experiences and traditions are formed, the new home adds a puppy, and the additional physical space creates room to metaphorically grow into... Through love continually shared, the two homes become more and more connected. Brief, rhyming verse flows well across the pages. Though the text is spare, the characters’ love for one another is palpable. The mixed-media illustrations are homey, populating the pages with long-limbed bodies and many cozy details." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "The minimalist rhyming text puts the emphasis on the girl’s emotions, while the digital illustrations carry the positive changes over the seasons. Helpful for adults and children alike."? — Booklist
