“Jarvis crafts an extended metaphor about how good friends can share the burden of bad times.” Publishers Weekly review of The Boy with Flowers in His Hair (4/11/2022). “The language...beautifully conveys from a child’s perspective the adaptability and acceptance of a child facing hardship. Pair this with any favorite title on bullies and create SEL lessons that practically write themselves.” School Library Journal review of The Boy with Flowers in His Hair (4/1/2022)
