Starred Review
This simple but powerful story will indeed bring the reader great joy. (Picture book. 4-8)
ALA/Booklist
Starred Review
Ibatoulline’s evocative artwork moves [the story] to a higher level. The setting is the 1940s, and the art captures the time beautifully.
School Library Journal
Starred Review
The plotline is simplicity itself, and the text lacks any sentimentality or fluff, allowing the acrylic paintings, reminiscent of Norman Rockwell’s work in their warmth and realism, to enrich and expand the story.
