Reviews

"Booklist (starred review) ""This moving allegory is captured by expressive, vintage-like illustrations created with markers and digital media primarily featuring reds, yellows, greens, and blues. Wordless full-page spreads at the end capture the uplifting conclusion, capping off the story's inclusive message."" Foreword Reviews (starred review) ""Glowing primary colors illuminate this story that ends with hope--despite all odds."" Kirkus Reviews ""A quirky, poignant take on the refugee crisis, though one best introduced by sensitive caregivers or educators."""
