Awards & Accolades
“Slater created her carefully composed illustrations by hanging collaged and paper-cut elements from wires and photographing them; the resulting scenes are striking, with a real sense of depth and dimensionality. Slater also adds visual humor to the story, giving the mischief-making rooster and mouse abundant energy”- Publishers Weekly
“This new version of the cautionary folktale features captivating, meticulous cut-paper and collage illustrations.... Children and adults will appreciate this edition of the literal and figurative age-old adage ‘You reap what you sow’” -School Library Journal
