Kirkus Reviews, starred review
★ "From tiny discoveries to one big treasure, the natural world delights at every turn...A gentle exploration, using a child's words and told at a child's pace, of a marvelous world."
David Suzuki, Scientist and Broadcaster
“A wonderful way of rediscovering ancient, life-giving treasures.”
Autumn Peltier, internationally recognized advocate for water, from the Wikwemikong First Nation
“Treasure reminds us that although we might not always find what we are looking for, we might discover something even more magical—a connection to nature and our Earth.”
CM: Canadian Review of Materials
“A good story to read aloud.”
School Library Journal
“Messier and Luxbacher have created a vivid adventure that leads right to a shiny, mysterious, and precious treasure in both French and English. An excellent read-aloud to teach children how one person’s treasure may be different from another’s, but that they are both still important.”
Glass of Wine, Glass of Milk blog
“If you have a little treasure seeker, this is a beautiful book for story time inside or outside. And if you have someone who is reluctant to go outside, this is an excellent enticement.”
Sal's Fiction Addiction
“Full of wonder and the beauty of the natural surroundings, this book is a treat.”
Must Read Literature: K thru YA
“This is a very good choice to teach the value of time spent in the natural world, looking for treasures of nature. Young children will be encouraged to discuss their own treasures and what makes them so special.”
