Reviews

  • Although this title seems drippingly allegorical, the story is actually honest, light, and direct. A fine collaborative effort between author and illustrator, it delivers a believable picture of a preschool boy who has a freewheeling imagination, supportive parents, asthma, and a life that works well.

  • For children who have asthma, or know someone who has it, this cheerful book should be reassuring; creative enough to be fun, it’s still clear enough to be useful, while Sean’s calm, sensible parents set a fine example. Westcott’s colorful, lightly sketched illustrations deftly express Sean’s feelings through his own body language and that of his animal friends.
