"Kirkus Reviews, February 2023: ""As in Eat Up, Bear! (2021), author and illustrator again team up to show small folks—and their parents—how to enjoy nature without harming it. . . . The simply drawn, brightly hued illustrations are graced with a multitude of accurately depicted plants and animals: red-shouldered hawk, Turk’s-cap lilies, lupine, blue flags, milkweed, monarch butterflies, red-winged blackbird, and much more. . . The last couplet underscores the point: 'Every grown-up, every child, / can help keep meadows strong and wild.'"" Midwest Book Review, February 2023: ""Fun and with an important message, 'Hello, Meadow!' is a very special and unreservedly recommended addition to family, daycare center, preschool, and community library board book collections for children ages 6 months to 3 years."""
