"okay, I cry through this whole story every time, which makes it hard to read to a 4 year old, but I still love the legend. It brings out the Michigander in me through and through."
"This is a very beautiful and sad legend of the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore. Illustrated by our own (Michigan) Nick van Frankenhuyzen. I love it, but it is a tearjerker."
"I had to hide in the bookstore stacks to stop weeping before I could go pay for this book for my daughter. The legend of the Sleeping Bear is well known in the northern lower peninsula of Michigan where the Sleeping Bear Dunes and the Manitou Islands lie.
But the illustrations, especially the depictions of a stricken mother bear make this book a heartbreakingly poignant retelling of the ancient Michigan legend explaining the large bear-shaped dune on the west coast of the state and the two islands just off shore. I've purchased multiple copies over the years for friends who have given birth to children in the Traverse City area so that the child can always know one of the enduring legends of their birthplace."
"This book was wonderful. A one of a kind book that really shows how a mother is connected to her children. A love so strong that she will stay and search forever, for a lost child and the grief that she feels."
