Reviews

""As with the other books in this series, Misako features one childhood struggle--in this case, confidence--and mirrors that struggle in her readership. The art continues to be bright and colorful as with other volumes, but this title focuses even further on brighter patterns owing to the focus on fashion and the outlandish fabrics common in Nala's wardrobe and the design school's choices. ... [T]he lessons learned are ... applicable and poignant.""--School Library Journal
