Its power goes straight to the visceral in a way that will resonate for a long, long time. ---Kirkus Reviews Expressionistic art and economical poetry combine smoothly to create an inspiring model of self-control... While abstract and symbolic, this book has a healthful and hopeful message that readers will connect with emotionally. ---School Library Journal
