Recognized Reviews
"Here is childhood caught unawares, busy about its own affairs, artless and unselfconscious. The pictures and the prayer itself speak to children in a child's own language; older people will find this little volume beautiful, moving and deeply satisfying. A book for every household where there are children." - Anne T. Eaton for the New York Times (1944)

Recognized Reviews
"It captures the excitement and ever-recurring wonder which all children feel as the first flakes fall and the world takes on a softer shape and new colors. It is this changed world which Roger Duvoisin shows in his fine pictures" - E.L.B. for the New York Times (1947)
