Explaining the events of September 11, even 10 years afterward, is a task fraught with emotion. Brown's sturdy yet empathetic tone seems just right. Publishers Weekly Online Illustrated on every spread with line-and-wash pictures that are forthright but never sensational, the book is superbly focused and completely honest. Horn Book Magazine, Starred review Brown's compelling narrative chronologically recounts the morning's events in a tone both straightforward and compassionate, without resorting to sensationalism. School Library Journal, starred review Brown's take is a model of straightforward, earnest nonfiction writing that brings things to many an uncomfortable point--that cannot be avoided--without going too far. Booklist Ten years' distance from the events allows Brown to include in his carefully crafted narrative some details missing in even the best of the children's titles released closer to September 11, 2001.
