lattelibrarian's review
5.0
When I say that I love books that are a piece of art, this book is what I mean. It's so obvious that Frankel and his publishers care deeply about this book, from the artistry (which look to be hand-carved rubber stamps) to the story of coming together and getting to know your neighbors on a deeper level. While traversing the broken piece of equipment, the main character's dog needs to go outside, her neighbor is trying to deliver a cake, and the oldest neighbor tries to comfort a new mother and her twins when they get hungry by telling a story.
The matte pages, the unusual length of the book, and a smaller, tinier book written by Mr. Miguel encased in vellum truly goes to show how gorgeous this picture book is.
