"A resonant exultation of community and the importance of self-reflection." --Publishers Weekly

"This book delivers positivity, despite the inclusion of police brutality, a Black Lives Matter protest, and a vigil for the dead--all of which affirm the child's realities . . . A well-crafted, twenty-first-century love poem by two truth-telling Black women artists and activists." --The Horn Book
