"A gentle and lucid, though wordless, picture book with beautiful and unusual illustrations. The pictures are rendered in a delicate mono-colour line technique, with one object in each in full colour. Sweet but not cloying - Kirkus A touching story illustrated with understated, eloquent pen-and-ink drawings Mothering Magazine In this wordless story about a circle of kindness, a boy leaves the lion's share of his fresh muffin with a homeless man sleeping on a park bench. When the man awakes, he shares crumbs with two birds that feed them to a fledgling. Carmi sparingly accessorises the line drawings with colour, using gold, scarlet, or green to highlight an element on each page that will carry the kindness forward. This simple tale...makes its point without being didactic or overly sentimental - School Library Journal"
