Reviews
"Understated but powerful . . . with a sweet, unforgettable ending." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Beautifully written and illustrated . . . answers a real need that children have." --School Library Journal
"Poignant . . it's the authentic specifics about the experience of loss, unfolding in Paschkis' quietly rhythmic prose, that make it so real as well as so sad. Chodos-Irvine's light-filled stencil and gouache artwork is key to controlling the mood." --The Bulletin, starred review
