Reviews

* Quiet and tender, this is a story that audiences will wish took longer to read. * Bulletin, starred review * An inviting choice... * Booklist * * Filled with little moments of quiet wisdom and gentle humor, Newbery winner MacLachlan's story about family love soars. * Kirkus, starred review * * MacLachlan again demonstrates a gift for combining an economy of prose with a bounty of emotion.... As befits a story in which words and music play such a central role, MacLachlan's writing is melodic, poetic, and enchanting. * Publishers Weekly, starred review *
