Professional Reviews

"One person can make a difference, and in this book Luis Soriano makes all the difference in the world...Winter has a gift for creating nonfiction that is accessible to and appeals to very young readers. The story is well told, and the colorful illustrations reflect the flora and fauna of Colombia...Winter ends the book by saying,

"A small corner of the world is enriched." What a terrific way to help children think about their role in doing the same."-- School Library Journal
