What a first book! Courtney has written a snuggle-book full of love and memories. A true connection between child and grandfather is evident within the text, as well as a deep connection to this lovely environment in Newfoundland. The author’s writing style adds to the degree of heartwarming reassurance this book provides. The attention to detail by illustrator Kloepper launches the book to a higher level. Quilters will appreciate all of the detailed patterns which integrate the story line and its location. While the Atlantic puffin is superb, all of the little reoccurring prints, lines, and shapes are fantastic.

Add this book to all public libraries and gift to early primary classroom collections. Even if a school is located inland the sentiments and illustrations will be appreciated by all in any primary media center. |
