Review Quotes

Hazel and Twig return for a tender, mouse-sized story about sisterhood, nature, and belonging...A gentle, wholly accessible tale of quiet curiosity, the love of family, and the hatching of eggs.
--Kirkus Reviews

With this second adventure under their quite-tiny belts, Hazel and Twig seem poised to join Chirri and Chirra (Chirri & Chirra, rev. 1/17, and sequels), and the Mole Sisters (The Mole Sisters and the Cool Breeze, and sequels) before them, as memorable sister duos.
--The Horn Book
