From
School Library Journal: “Nutmeg is a squirrel who loves to chatter with her friends and dance; Barley is a mouse who likes to grow flowers and relax in solitude with music. But when he gets sick, the two discover that they can be good friends despite their differences--and even find something that they both like to do. In a few brief sentences, Bynum describes the beginning of what looks to be a beautiful friendship. Her charming watercolor-and-pastel illustrations of the two creatures going about their daily routines portray each personality beautifully and create a lovely oversize book for storytime or a cozy one-on-one read-aloud.”
