A little girl feels invisible to her busy parents, so she leaves a note and takes off on a journey to the sea. She is comforted by the familiarity of the route. Overnight, she is joined by a fox, whom she is able to identify with.

The synopsis on the back of the book describes the girl in this story as "spunky." I did not see anything in the book that supports that description. I understand what the author is trying to portray, but the story itself is a bit problematic. The little girl has decided that the answer to her problems is to run away, spending the night in the woods alone. When her parents find her, they are happy to see her, with no sign of concern or worry on their faces. I worry about the message that this tale is sending. The watercolor images are beautiful, but the story was overly simplistic, with just a few words per page. This could have worked fine if the story were developed just a bit more.

I received a digital ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley and NorthSouth Books.
