Reviews"Dillon's literary legend explains the origin of the tiny matrioshkas [nesting dolls]...Lattimore's use of watercolors and colored pencils is masterful. Her exquisite illustrations, dominated by folk art motifs and glorious colors, are reminiscent of Old Russia...A delightful tale destined to delight readers and collectors of the charming carvings." --Kirkus Reviews "Dillon crafts an imaginative and touching fable...The plot is clever and the topic has automatic appeal for doll lovers. What may be most striking, however, are the insight and nuance Dillon brings to the relationship between Boxer and Sasha...A most satisfying tale." --Publisher's Weekly

What can it be but seven carved wooden dolls nestled together to form one thumbling doll the first matrioshka, or "little mother." How Sasha's grandfather comes to make the doll is at the heart of this warm intergenerational story, lavishly illustrated in brilliant watercolors and colored pencils.
