Kantorovitz’s spare, muted artwork is enchanting in its simplicity, depicting the pains of failing at a new hobby and the joys of finally triumphing; she also displays a keen eye for precious details. . . A positively super lesson in persistence. —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Clear fonts with lots of white space will be approachable for emerging readers, and the overall message—not only of the importance of resilience but the benefits of sharing newfound skills and interests with friends—is a particularly welcome one for the age group. A fun surprise in the closing pages is a delightful flourish on an already charming package. —Booklist
