Lake Superior Magazine
“The sister duo that created this book understand well that longing to get out from the ordinary and into an adventure. Finnigin the fisher sets off to fill his dragonfly jar in new territory only to discover, too late, that night had arrived and he was lost and alone. A star drops in to aid him and by following the light and the advice of newfound friends, the little fellow gets safely home to his own tree … a beautiful sight to see. Nicely illustrated, this is a good tale to be read aloud. Plus it's just so rare that a fisher gets center stage; it's a great way to go further and look up actual pictures of a fisher family and how they look in real life.” --Konnie LeMay, Lake Superior Magazine December/January 2009
