2022 review:

I have loved this picture book ever since I first read it, and I asked for a copy for Christmas when I was sixteen. This week, I got to read it for three fall-themed storytimes. All of the copies in the library system were checked out or requested, so I used my own, and it was really special.

My Thursday storytime had a lot of younger kids, and some of them lost interest partway through, although the adults seemed to enjoy it. This went over very well on Saturday, when there were more preschoolers and kindergartners, and I enjoyed sharing it. Fletcher is such a sweet character, and the book's gentle exploration of accepting change is perfect.
