Looking for Loons was reviewed in the October 11-18, 2007 issue of the Georgia Straight along with a bunch of other great children’s books. Some of the other books were authored and illustrated by my fellow CWILL BC members.
To read the reviews, pick up this week’s Georgia Straight (October 11 – 18, 2007) or read them online.

Looking for Loons, (Jennifer Lloyd auth., Kirsti Anne Wakelin illust., published by Simply Read Books) won’t be out until the fall, but was reviewed from the proofs in the Quill & Quire.
excerpt from the Q&Q, July/August 2007, page 68:
Vancouver illustrator Kirsti Anne Wakelin’s luminous watercolours are an excellent match for the natural beauty of the tale’s setting. Glowing reds, oranges, and golds fill the double-page spreads.
-Jessica Kelley, a youth librarian from Vancouver living in Fresno, California
For this and other reviews of new Canadian (and international) books – both kidlit and adult – pick up a July/August copy of the Quill & Quire, Canada’s Magazine of Book News and Reviews.
EDIT: the review is now up on the Quill & Quire site.
