Reviews

[Kris Dersch · Rating 3 out of 5]

Meh. Sweet in its way, not a metaphor that worked for me.

[Anne Harmon · Rating 4 out of 5]

A sweet little book about being a writer. It tells many thoughts in few words.

[Madeleine · Rating 4 out of 5]

A sweet little window into a quiet writer's world. Few words, delicate illustrations, quick read. Presents writing ideas as akin to swing seeds, hoping they will grow in the world.
