Slater and Ceccoli are ideally paired, with the incantatory rhythms of the prose mirroring the velvety surfaces and Zen-like vibe of the acrylic and pastel paintings. The result is a book that's both engrossing and lulling—a wonderfully offbeat choice for bedtime.
~Publishers Weekly >

Ceccoli’s beautiful, lyrical illustrations, in acrylics and pastels, give a mythic quality to Slater’s tale of firefighting derring-do, told by a little girl snugly asleep in her bed and imagining where the sirens are going... Endearingly, Slater captures a young child’s view of the world and a very different role for firefighters than usually seen by this audience." 
~Kirkus Reviews >

Snug in her bed, a youngster hears a distant siren and dreams of firefighters’ brave escapades. Slater’s rhythmic, sometimes rhyming prose captures the child’s enthusiasm…Ceccoli’s dreamy, luminescent paintings perfectly suit the story…A perfect choice for bedtime reading.
