"The artwork is simply beautiful, and I love the vibrant colours that tell the story. The book is filled with magical creatures, in the same magical woodland we can see in Daniela's other books, and each page addresses a question to the reader. Whether it is a squirrel looking for nuts or trying to see who's hiding under the bushes, the book engages its reader into a search and find mission."
