How the Sun Got to Coco's House - Softcover

The drawings are deftly unfussy, with an easy command of the watercolors. Their deliberate pacing recalls Mitsumasa Anno, and in their grand compass they are like a big, Whitmanesque hug...It's great to be able to count on something; readers can count on both the sun and Graham.
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
In the soft wash of hues that form the backdrop to most of the scenes, Graham ("Vanilla Ice Cream") captures the moment of daybreak with gray-blue and rosy pink ceding to bright yellow across the sky. Seeing the same instant from widely dispersed viewpoints will elicit a sense of both familiarity and discovery for readers.
