Reynolds applies his beautiful art to illustrating a classic song from Yusuf, who used to be known as Cat Stevens. The sentiment of the song is extremely important and Reynold’s illustration are the stuff of dreams – art for your walls, for sure. Songs rarely translate well into picture books – a song is not really a poem – and this one is just okay. Buy it for the art and play the song as you turn the pages.
