Reviews
"... Stringer’s lush acrylic paintings depict the forest in sumptuous shades of sunshine yellow and emerald green, the girl and deer each captured in swirling scenes of graceful movement…An ode to joyous dance."
-Kirkus Reviews (starred)
"...On the page, the words whirl in tandem with the marvelous art that recalls picture books from an earlier time…Yet this beautifully crafted piece of bookmaking never feels dated, but rather timeless."
-Booklist (starred)

“…Light and movement flit across each of Stringer's illustrations, capturing the motion of the trees, the deer, and the girl. This is a celebration of movement in nature and the astonishing connections of dance. Brava!"
