"A wonderfully sweet story about kindness and how we can always
help one another."—Chelsea Clinton, author of She Persisted
★ "Little readers will be carried along by the bouncy rhythm,
the expressive faces of the ships and boats, and the ingenious ways
Hope finds to help others in need. Delightful and
inspiring."—Booklist, Starred Review
"this story’s power is in the reassurance that a source of comfort
and caring is never far away."—Publishers Weekly
"Inspired by the true story of the first peacetime hospital ship,
which included an operating room, an X-ray room, a pharmacy, a
library, and dozens of doctors and nurses, Savage creates a perfect
vehicle book for toddlers. . . . Children will delight in pointing
at the characters and participating in the simple plot."—School
Library Journal
"Children fearing hospital visits, doctors, or nurses may find
comfort in the book’s measured tone. This is reflected not merely
in the spare text with its gentle wordplay, but also in the
simplicity and style of the digital art." —Kirkus Reviews
