"Morelli and Ouriou’s translation flows nicely, and the story’s mysterious golden glow flower . . . serves as a McGuffin around which Flouw builds his striking introduction to botanical exploration." --Publishers Weekly
"The story is solid enough, but it’s the illustrations that steal the show." --Kirkus Reviews
"Flouw nicely integrates diagrams and information about backpacking into this pleasant, eye-catching picture book, and his blocky, colorful artwork has a friendly, modern feel. . . . A pleasant blend of fiction and nonfiction, this will serve as a helpful introduction to hiking for little ones." --Booklist
"Sweet with a subtle environmental message, this is a story that glows." --BookPage
"Although The Golden Glow is fiction, there is some informational content included as well as a gentle nod to the idea of conservation. . . . Recommended." --CM Magazine
"A story of a hike and a quest, this is also stylishly informative about alpine flowers, botanical drawing and even about the peace of a mountain sunset. . . . An enticing, unusual book about the natural world." --Toronto Star
