Reviews

A gentle yet powerful lesson for people pleasers everywhere. Jones' painted, mixed-media, cut-paper figures and objects are bold and inviting. An affirming, multigenerational story about just how tricky it can be to speak up. -- Kirkus Reviews


Jones's vibrant mixed-media illustrations bring warmth and humor to this relatable family story. Themes of self-expression, family dynamics, and compromise make this a standout read for young audiences. Fans of Vanessa Brantley-Newton's Grandma's Purse and Oge Mora's Thank You, Omu! will find much to love here. VERDICT A warm and empowering story about finding one's voice while celebrating the love of family. Highly recommended. -- School Library Journal (starred review) A gentle yet powerful lesson for people pleasers everywhere. Jones' painted, mixed-media, cut-paper figures and objects are bold and inviting. An affirming, multigenerational story about just how tricky it can be to speak up. -- Kirkus Reviews Zara's narration reads as authentically age-appropriate, making the book an easy readaloud choice, where adults and kids can take turns based on the child's reading abilities. Each spread [has] a lively tactility. Excellent character designs. -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
