Lovely illustrations in saturated colors, revealing cozy cottages, the lush greens of summer, and the fluffy deep snow of winter, are the highlight of this simple tale of loss and love. Booklist
Truly joyful! Despite scaring cows and laughing loud ho ho hos, this giantly giant has an enormous capacity for love. The story leaves us with the hope that one day we may spy him lying under a huge olive tree. What a dear friend he would be! Dalys fresh, clear illustrations do justice to the story and never overwhelm, or scare the reader, but intrigue with quirky details of the giants tiny teeth, his squishy nose and the way his eyebrows show how he feels. From the moment he raises his arm in greeting on the first page, we know he is a giant to be loved! And when the story reaches its saddest point, its the white blankness of the page that captures the emotion and the sense of loss. Just wonderful!" Diane Hoefmeyr, author of The Magic Bojabi Tree and Storm Dragon
