"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 ho's, 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! Daly's fresh, clear illustrations do justice to the story and never overwhelm, or scare the reader, but intrigue with quirky details of the giant's 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, it's 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
