“In Lundquist's clear, airy art, the child grows older, planting new apple trees as a young adult. At last, she picnics with her own children in the orchard she has grown: 'All around are apples . . . And every last one/ has an idea inside./ Just like you.'” ―Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Opaque, spring-bright colors in the watercolor, pencil, and gouache illustrations . . . complement the text's suggested importance of a human connection with nature. . . . [A] bedtime read-aloud about big ideas and the promise in everyone.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“Bursts with freshness in illustration and text . . . . A gentle yet deliberate reminder of the greatness deep inside every living being.” ―School Library Journal
“The language is lyrical and often stunning. . . A book to pore over and think about.” ―Booklist Online
