Silver Award in the Category Spanish Language at the 2016 MoonBeam Children's Book Award Carretero's gentle narrative is one of the loveliest offerings to come out of Spain recently and demonstrates how an international title, rather than being culturally specific, can have universal appeal (...) Carretero's Spanish text reads like poetry; readers can almost feel her luxuriating over each word. The book includes paper doll cutouts and coloring sheets at the end. These would make terrific storytime craft activities when reading this work. VERDICT A tender, imaginative tale of love between a mother and daughter, lovingly written, designed, and illustrated.--Tim Wadham, Children's Literature Consultant, School Library Journal (November, 2016)
