Editorial Reviews

Charming soft watercolor illustrations and a sweet story that tugs at the imagination provide a flight of fancy that youngsters will enjoy hearing again and again. . . Hoshino's delightful detail-filled paintings of Juna's nighttime adventures show smiling sea creatures, sloths, monkeys and crocodiles, and a city alive with activity, illuminated by vehicle headlights "that lit up the hill like a string of holiday lights." Use this title in preschool storytimes or in the classroom to stimulate leaps of imagination. — School Library Journal

"Bahk's comforting picture-book debut, effortlessly multicultural, sparkles with the promise of imagination and friendship." — Booklist

"[P]ensive, curious, and openhearted heroine." — Publishers Weekly
