…a flowing, incantatory text...encrusted with poetic epithets...so well are art and text wedded that readers will close the book and feel as if they are the ones who have been in a dream.

Praise
This is a direct, lyrical, searingly honest, redemptive evocation of the primal mother-daughter connection, of the reality of loss and the private immortality that love brings. It is one of the most moving texts I have read about these themes.

(Mother of Beauty)
Wolfson's use of poetic language conveys a sense of wonder beyond the earthly world and Parms's bold pastel illustrations give heroic import to the story.
~ School Library Journal (Marriage of the Rain Goddess)
This engrossing, enlightening tale uses action to deliver the message and works well on several levels.
~ Booklist (Patient Stone)
Lushly colored illustrations accompany this well told-tale. Folklore collections will benefit from this unusual addition.
~ School Library Journal (Turtle Songs)
