The author employs simple, accessible language that roots the story in time and place, with believable, sympathetic characters. Hawkes' detailed acrylic depictions of Shoshi's and the brown-skinned humans' facial and body expressions are humorous and thoroughly delightful. . . . A lovely evocation of Shabbat traditions. -Kirkus Reviews
