-Booklist

Cooper uses his signature style to illustrate both the landscape–sometimes viewed from the car windows or reflected in the vehicle’s mirror–and the expressive faces of his characters. Coupled with the story’s lyrical text, this is a lovely mood piece. A quiet, warm look at the bond between grandfather and grandson.
