Editorial Reviews

Review

"The notion that “love finds a way” has never been truer than in Meshon’s not-quite-wordless story, in which a grandmother attempts to ship freshly baked cookies to her grandson for his birthday.... Shifting perspectives and the sheer ridiculousness of the journey make this cookie-delivery relay a delight." ― Publishers Weekly, November 2016

* "A box of cookies travels from the kitchen where they're made to a destination across the universe. Meshon's premise is simple but spectacular.... The rear endpapers present a visual joke that will have kids wondering just how literally to take those cookies' journey. Meshon's digital illustrations are strange and beautiful, with distinctive shapes and an arresting use of color, negative space and red hearts both figuring prominently in their design. Whimsical delight." ― Kirkus Reviews, December 2016, *STARRED REVIEW*

"In this nearly wordless book, a woman bakes a special batch of red heart-shaped cookies and sends them off in the mail.... In a sweet and visually effective touch, each time a person receives the package, some part of his or her vehicle turns into a red heart.... Through his digital illustrations, Meshon...makes the journey visually accessible by featuring simply drawn characters within cheerfully cluttered landscapes.... Meshon reminds us that putting in a little extra effort can go a long way." ― Horn Book Magazine, March/April 2017

"A grandmother bakes up a sweet surprise of heart-shaped cookies for her grandson, and after carefully packaging the treats, she passes the box off to the mailman, but that’s only the first step. In a nearly wordless narrative, Meshon cleverly depicts the random chain of devices used to deliver grandmother’s gift.... Meshon fills the detailed, whimsical scenes with hearts of all sizes set in the most peculiar places, emphasizing the love inherent in both the gift and the long journey. Little ones will be especially tickled by a surprise on the closing end papers. Ideal for sharing, especially with a distant loved one." ― Booklist, April 2017

Too fanciful for me I guess
4 Stars
Too fanciful for me I guess
Without spoiling the ending (which annoyed me though others clearly thought it was sweet), I was highly annoyed by the lack of realism... I know it's a fanciful book, but why does the snow give way directly to the sand?! Why does the space capsule designed to land on the water land on the earth?! That's not teaching my kids how the earth really works, which even a cutesy book ought to be able to do IMHO.Still stars though because my kids liked it and voted to give it 4 stars lol.

Amazing illustrations tell a story of heart shaped cookies going on a grand voyage to reach a loved one. Nice to add to our collection of Valentines Day books and for a child in love with “packages” it’s fun to imagine how they really do travel. There was something about the tonal illustrations with many lines that made you feel a bit dizzy at times. We liked it but for a book with a lack of words the story wasn’t always clear, the vehicle’s and people transporting could have been a bit bigger which is why I gave it four stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars My kids LOVE this book
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2023
I had the pleasure of meeting the author and illustrator Aaron at a farmers market where I purchased this book. My two boys ages 4 and 5 love this book, it is one of the top requests for bedtime. There were no words so we talk about what we see, and my boys love tracing the delivery path and all the different vehicles along the journey. (They also love that Aaron signed the book for them). Highly recommend!
