A good lesson in courage and common sense. This realisti c vignette of a boy who conquers a big fear is simple and honest. The illustrations depict this loving, turn-of-the-19th century family in soft lantern-lit watercolors...A quietly reassuring story.-- School Library Journal
Watercolor illustrations in shades of gold and blue is a consistent palette throughout the story...The African American family and farm scenes are realistic and handsome!
A quiet story useful for students dealing with fear.
