* Kirkus *Starred Review
* School Library Journal *Starred Review * Publisher's Weekly *Starred Review "The beautifully textured artwork by Qualls and Alko adroitly captures the mood and feel of a city in which diversity among people is such a natural occurrence, it doesn’t need to be called out — it simply is."
-RJ Palacio, NY Times "I love the vibrancy of the illustrations and the mood they create as the story follow two children through Brooklyn as they ponder big life questions." -Javaka Steptoe, Caldecott Medalist |
